This evening I sat at my friends's home, her daughter occasionally jumping off my knees to chase the goats away from the crops. Their tukals (mud huts) sit adjacent to the UN food halls and today food was being distributed. Hundreds of ladies flowed through her home to greet us, 25Kg sacks of grain carried on their heads. Their harvest of the year before was not enough to feed them and they will be dependent on others for the food for their independence day feasting.
Here are some thoughts I have written for a Royal African Society blog, in case you're interested.
Keep praying for peace, and God's foundations to this new land and people.
