In the villages Peggy said people live in dirt huts. At the mission centre limited electricity is supplied from solar panels and batteries. There are outside latrines. Water comes from deep wells and is rationed. I love to get up early and watch the desert sunrise.
Situations can change so suddenly.
On the way to the mission there's a dirt track crossing a dried-up riverbed. One day thunder began to roll and the ground shook. Suddenly there was this roaring sound and we saw a silver line snaking towards us. Within minutes the bed had filled up and we couldn't drive over for days. Living in Africa has made Peggy see life differently.
