The first day we arrived in Himba land, an old man came out and watched us. He was so sweet. The first time I greeted him with a hand shake, he kissed my hand. As the day went on, we offered him some p-nuts, etc. and he reciprocated with corn from his garden (which he took us to see, where his wife was working). His name is Jamba and he is 80 years old--which is very old for the Himba. The third day that we were together he offered us a watermelon from his garden. He also brought back some rope and oil that some of the people stole on the last day. In his own way, he thanked us for trying so hard. He was one of the believers. I will see him in heaven one day.
Kim, what an awesome journey you have been on. Thanks for all the pictures and journal. Can't wait to hear firsthand. April 28th is still open, if you can do. We will talk about it more when you get home!!!
