It would be silly to come half way around the world and not see the famous Victoria Falls. The local name for it is Mosi-oa-Tunya (the Smoke that Thunders). The falls are what separate Zambia from Zimbabwe. At over twice the height of Niagara and possibly the longest waterfall in the world it is the most amazing thing I have seen in God's creation. If you ever have the opportunity seeing it is a must...swimming optional.

| This is the dry season. Imagine next month after the monsoons. This will all be waterfall |

How amazing is God's creation -- so beautiful and sometimes unbelievable! Thanks for sharing, Dion, we very much appreciate this wonderful piece of understanding what you did/are doing!
ReplyDeleteWow is all I can say! I was directed to your blog by my Aunt. She had purchased a microwave from you and you were telling her about your trip to Africa and the work, you and your fellow friends did there.
ReplyDeleteI have this deep need to go to Africa, its in my veins, I can't and wont deny it anymore, espically after I see and read your beautiful blog. I am so proud and pleased of you and your friends as a fellow human being. You guys really did do, wonderful God felt work..all of your work was shown in each of your eyes, and so beautifuly received by the Africans, bless you all.
Thank you so much for sharing your expierence with us all-I love your analogy of "being poor & being broke", its one thing to not have money or material items, its really another thing to not have a spirit wrapped of joy, hope & happiness-bless you now, forever and always!
Thank you again!
