We went to 2 more villages today. We went to a village near Dondo. We taught the health promoters in the community. They were very young, but bright and attentive and had a great knowledge of the things we were teaching and reinforcing. We taught in the village of Asubida in the afternoon. Over 30 people from the community attended the training in addition to the health promoters. They continue to amaze me with their willingness to learn and their enthusiasm for the things care for life is teaching them. Almost all are usisng latrines, drinking purified water and using mosquito nets. I am very impressed with they way they entertain thruough song and dance. As soon as they begin to sing it almost seems to put them in a trance and take them to a happy place. Their smiles and enthusiasm are contageous. We walked down to an area below the village. Miles of endless rice fieldsl could be viewed and its beauty was enhanced by the setting sun. I thought Arizona had beautiful sunsets, and they do, but the sunsets in Mozambique are indescribable.
