Sasa!
Today was another great day in Ngaamba. We worked very hard along side the women and men making GREAT progress on our work site. Our team was split 50/50 today - half of us traveling back and forth up and down the hill toting satchels of rocks and the other half mixing cement and building the gabion wall. We were all able to connect with many of the same people from the community that we worked with yesterday. Our bonds are growing stronger, and true friendships have been established.
One of the things that most of the women here will tell you is, "Don't forget me when you leave. We won't forget you." We are so touched by their love for us, and we have all seen how each of us are remembered from previous trips. We assure them that they will never be forgotten. They have made such an impact upon our hearts, and we pray that our relationships with them will be evident in our lives once we return home. We choose to never forget Ngaamba and the people who make it so special.
Today marks our last day in a hotel. We will be camping for the next two nights in Ngaamba. We have been assured that lions won't attack, but your prayers won't hurt! (Prayers that bugs/spiders/snakes/etc. will also leave us alone are also appreciated!!!) We are excited to spend nights in Ngaamba and be paired up with women in the community to experience a "day in the life." Given that this is our last night in a hotel, this may or may not be the last update you will receive. There may be an opportunity on Friday to send out an update before we head home, but there may not be. Cross your fingers!
Again, thank you for your prayers. We feel them here, and we are so blessed to have you at home.
