Dear Friends, Hello from Beira! Hope you are all fine!
Here is a beach photo from Gerald, the Austrian colleague. People here are so fit, because of the physical demands of daily life and a whole foods diet. People do all kinds of sports on the beach...soccer, rugby, karate.
I’ve been helping teach English to the Preparatory Year Med students.
As you get warmer, we are finally cooling down a bit. We had a massive storm off the Indian Ocean that has brought fresher weather. It was so hot day after day, I was starting to drink cokes and get really grumpy. We have 12 hours of day and 12 of night.
April 7th was a HUGE holiday...Day of the Mozambiquan Woman. Everything was shut. Women were all dressed up in bright cloths around the waist and matching cloths around the head. (called capulanas). There were parties and parades and great celebration of Women!
Hope this finds everyone doing great and enjoying spring!! Would love to hear from you!! All the best! Emily
Dear Friends, Greetings!! I finally made it out to Young Africa today and met your 2 Moms! They looked very professional and happy. One is doing very well and one is struggling a bit but will continue and carry on. I think she can’t read and has some coordination issues. I got nice photos which Peter will put on the web at work tomorrow.
They are doing great, the teacher is lovely, and the classroom nice. They are very grateful and send thanks. It is changing their lives. Young Africa has 1000 students now.
After the visit, Sister Augusta wanted to go on down the road to see someone in a village. So we stood by the side of the road, sweating for an hour, finally packed into a bus and reached a small village. After the visit, packed into another bus, chicken in my lap and got back to Beira.
Will get those photos to you ASAP.
Hope you are all fine! Sending many greetings and lots of thanks! Emily
