"Feeding" the boarders

                Oili, Seppo, Engelbert and I went to Chipangali on Friday. First we went to see the trees Engelbert planted in Bulawayo. Oili made some great observations on how an orchard should be planted. And now we also know that Engelbert knows what he is doing and that is necessary, because he is a key person on our Forestry project.
                 Today on our way to home from Chipangali we visited Dewure and Gutu high schools. We distributed them extra food and toiletries that Priscilla had bought. Students were happy to receive those and we got many letters to sponsors from these young adults. At Dewure I had a little sex education for the girls because they don’t cover that in school at all. I talked about safe sex and diseases and pregnancy and hopefully made them realize that they have right to decide on their own body. Some of the students got letters from their sponsors and they liked them and the ones that didn’t were eyeing the gifts with wanting eyes. I took some names up so I can send them something when I am back in Finland. On the way back we got Vaidah joining us, because she has to see a dentist Monday morning.
All in all, the trip was very nice although our tire separated on the way to Bulawayo.
