Late yesterday afternoon Fr. Bright was dying to try his new fishing pole(which Tom brought for him) so we and several others piled into a longboat and headed up the river. We didn’t catch any fish but had a fun time and saw some amazing scenery.
This morning we took the ferry across the river into the Metete District.
We drove to the village of Sakachambili on the Lungwevungu river. It took almost 3 hours to go 34 miles. We passed several small villages enroute. The trail(no roads) was rough and we had to stop at each water hole to decide where to cross.
We were welcomed in the village of Sakachambili on the Lungwevungu river. After mass the villagers were able to try on eyeglasses that we brought from our donors.
The people were so warm and friendly and the children were adorable.
We watched local boats go by while we were waiting for the ferry to take us back across the river.
