Village Life

I think Kamatipa was everyones favorite. This village is definately a special place for me. A few days of no electricity, pit toilets and hard floors really make a mark.
Although there was only twenty children that where part of the Bright Hope partnership, we had around a hundred. The kids where hard to control due to the number but everyone had fun. Chloe's bear hunt ended in a small stampede but all in all everyone had fun.

The people where so friendly, and it was definately the poorest place we have been to. It was sad that the people live in such poverty. The people travel three hours to the store to buy soap and salt. The children have lots of runny noses and coughs, many older ones walk five hours to school once a week. The partner there, Jeremiah is such an amazing man as he has given up a good life to live in poverty. He is an inspiration. - Chloe.
