Meet the neighbors

Over the past couple months I've had opportunities to get to know my neighbors a bit better. Sarah and I even got to go over for dinner last month!

So, meet my neighbors: the Makwasa family!!!

Deborah and her father Makwasa

Makwasa has adopted Sarah and me as neighbor-daughters and says that we can call on him anytime we have an issue or are worried about something at the house.

Makwasa's three sons, Sarah and me.

The boys have come over simply to say 'hi' a few times since we had dinner at their house. Its great that they are really warming up to us! When I returned from the Kara/Kerewe survey the two on the left greeted my by my Zinza name 'Nyakahoza' and the younger one grabbed my hand, escorting me to my gate while the older one rode beside us on a bike catching up with me.

It is such a blessing to have a good relationship with my neighbors and to be increasingly accepted into my local community here.
