It's remarkable how much it did feel like home: the kids ran out to greet me, my mom scolded me for not keeping in better touch and told me I should get married soon, and I was fed a big, greasy plate of spaghetti. I had brought a lot of toys for the kids, so we all played in the yard after lunch and got our hands covered in the red dirt that characterizes the village. I let the kids take some pictures with my camera, which they couldn't get enough of. They were too excited and impatient to learn the rules well, so there are a lot of pictures of torsos with no heads and ground with no figures, but there are a few that are surprisingly poignant. Here are 3 of mine followed by 2 of theirs.
In case you were trying to figure it out, frisbees, Silly Putty, and harmonicas all make great gifts for rural African kids. Trust me on this.

All the photos are GREAT! If this med school thing doesn't work out I think you should start a photography school in Moz! besos!
