Hungry Hungry Hippos!

A month ago, the P's were detained by an angry mob a few villages away. They accused the family of some things and held them in their vehicle for much of the night. Since then, the village's officials have sought to make amends with the family. The Chairman of the village invited S back and he took Nick and I with him. We met with the Chairman, Asst. Chairman, and Exec. Coordinator. They called us their friends and welcomed us back anytime. This meeting also gave S an opportunity to talk to the leaders about a clean water project. As we were leaving, the Chairman invited us back to look at his land and some animals. He asked us to give him a week for his guards to go out and find a trail. We returned this past Wednesday and 6 men, including the Chairman, piled into the P's vehicle with us (it seats 5 but we managed to squeeze 10 people in!) We drove through the bush and were able to see 1 elephant, a couple herds of swalla, 1 herd of wildebeest, 2 warthogs, and a TON of hippos! It was really neat and a great opportunity with the P's to continue building their relationship with this community.
