Travels among Dogose and Komono

Here is our team who traveled/researched among the Komono/Dogose: Sam in front; then from left to right: Stephen – Pastor Denis – Mark. The guide is in back and those lumps in the water are our friends the hippos. This was a little tourist sight we were able to take in on our way.
This was part of the cotton harvest for one of the pastors we visited. We took a little time to pick some ourselves. I guess I can never again argue if someone calls me a “cotton picker.”
This is a picture I’ve been trying to get for a long time. Believe it or not this is a fairly regular sight on the highways. We simply call him “the chicken man.” Yes they’re alive. I wonder if this is how KFC transports their birds.
Just liked the sight of this young boy intently reading his Bible in church. He can play a mean beat on the djembe (drum) too.
We came upon this village and stopped to ask some questions. We were greeted by this touching scene. This is a believer from a nearby village who is teaching these kids (for no money) reading/writing/arithmetic since this village has no school and there is none nearby.
