Visit to the Farm and a Local Village

This year, Come Let’s Dance had the opportunity to purchase close to 21 acres of farmland. They had to give ~3 acres to their squatter neighbors as an appeasement. It was great being out in the country not surrounded by all the noise and clutter. They have a group of engineers, etc. coming later this fall to help design the best use of the land. Currently they have 3 locals from Nansana staying on the property to build a bunkhouse. Here is a picture of the outhouse well – I have no idea how they were able to dig such a big hole manually!

We walked to Mama Victoria’s house, up the hill from the farm. She was very glad to see us. She pulled out a mat to place under a tree for some of us to sit on. I could tell that she was in pain. And then she pulled over a log to sit on herself. Julie later mentioned that she had never seen Mama Victoria so uncomfortable. We visited with her and I ended up giving her my whole bottle of Advanced Tylenol for her pain – thank God for healing me! Maybe Mama Victoria will have a little relief. Mama Victoria thinks her pain was caused by years of digging (basically gathering natural food in the local fields) – not an easy life, but you could tell that she was a joyous, bubbly lady amidst the hardness.

We stopped by a couple other neighbors and delivered sugar and ‘sweeties’ for the children. As we left the last house it down poured…perfect timing!
