Sliding in the mud, walking in the bush


We visited the land of the future site for the Pebble Project village.  It's about a 1 hour drive from downtown:

Marie, who is the head attorney for MLJ & GOF, came with us on the trip to the bush.  She is standing in front of the land that will used to build a village for the children in the future.  She has someone gardening the land, they are growing bananas, palm trees, mangoes, avacados, and cassava.




The bush is very quiet, green and smells heavenly.







Here is the natural beauty I was longing to see.

While walking in the bush to look at the land we saw this termite hill....it stands taller than me!






It had rained all morning and was still drizzling when we got there.  We drove through a mud filled road, it was similar to trying to drive through snow.



The head of the school nearby.



Jean Paul:  the best driver in the whole world.  He's a father of 8, 4 are adopted (they were his brother's children) and he's a father of twins which is very esteemed in Africa.  


Little children from the village.



The little boy in blue squealed with delight when I showed him his photo on my camera!


In the afternoon we went back to one of the orphanages to give them a snack and juice.
