Thoughts from Gray

So of all the positive things we've gained from Africa no one really hears of the negatives. Its been very interesting learning to use some of the "toilets" or holes in the ground surrounded by a few bricks for privacy. Or riding everywhere in the back of a pick up truck on the "roads". Over all it really hasn't been bad at all tho. Rugged Africa has been a thrilling view into the lives of people who live to work and work to live. I've been greatly humbled seeing these people who will never experience luxury. Or even understand it. Let alone enjoy it. They say, "A day without nshima (the bland ground corn meal they eat) is a day without food." That's something I will never be able to understand. But they have taught me a great deal about humility and hard work. Something that I WILL carry with me back to America.
