Making the most of bumpy african roads....roller coaster anyone!?
this is where the pavement ends..........................
walking to meeting upline (bush country)
I thoroughly enjoyed the 4 1/2 hour occada (motorcycle) ride upline. Behind me are typical market stalls for selling fruits and vegetables alongside the road, protect seller and market from rain in rainy season and sun in dry season.
Remote village children, don't want to miss out on the good news! Often time the children are the only ones in the family who can read, schools are still needed in rural areas. Many send their children to live with relatives or friends inside the city limits to go to school. Schools are not free, they have to pay and also buy uniforms and books and paper, pencils etc. It is not easy. Along the roads upline we often see signs that say "send your girl Pekin (child) to school" many still are not accustomed to sending girls to school, however more and more are and it is truly a blessing when we meet small ones who can read and carry the message back to their family.
