The above picture is of some of the local women with their babies on their back. This is the way that all women carry their babies. All women here have to walk so far to carry whatever they have on their heads, so the babies have to ride on the back wrapped in a towel or blanket. They always carry them this way.
To the right is Elder Heck and Sister Heck giving out humanitarian items to the people that attended the celabration. They were all so excieted to get what ever we gave them.
Elder Heck teaching a little girl how to play a game of stack hands. They all wanted to play because they had never seen it before!!!
Sister Heck helping a young boy draw water out of the bore hole. They have to pump it because there is no electricity for miles. Before this bore hole was put in they had a well about 2 miles away that they would draw the water out of the hole with a bucket. Long and hard process!!
The picture above is of one family that has gotten water from the bore hole (well) and they are going back to their village which is about 1 mile away. Note that they are all carrying water, and it is very heavy, but before the Church put this bore hole in, they had to walk for almost 3 miles. Very happy that the Church is helping.
After the celebration was over, we were treated to lunch which was sudsa, which is the staple here in Zimbabwe. Very tasty.
These guys were all lined up just watching the celebration and hoping that they might get something that the Church would give them. Lots of fun for everyone.
