Rain

The rain finally came! And it came hard. I was awaken by the sound of pounding rain in the middle of the night yesterday I was elated! We are praying that this will continue.

With rain come mosquitos and flies. They are brutal, especially, with muzugu, or foreigners. The locals told me that was to welcome us to the community.

But drought is not the only threat faced by the farmers here. I just learned that there is an insect that is destroying the crops in Southern Tanzania. It is moving the North where I live and can soon affect the farmers here.
