Hamaan Ghetto and Kibebe Farm, Iringa

---

We started the day with a long mountain drive. And I mean LONG and RUGGED. Three hours over boulders, around holes, and up the side of a mountain. There's nothing cuter than these little kids chasing the bus down just to wave at us. When we finally made it up, we stopped at the Uhambingeto Primary School to learn about their rainwater harvesting and health education program put in plave by Emmanuel International. They have only 3 months of rain, so they store and ration it for the rest of the year. They also purify dirty water by filling plastic bottles and putting it on their tin roofs. The combination of the UV rays and the heat generated from the metal is enough to kill 99% of the pathogens. Very eco-friendly and sustainable because they aren't using wood. We met the pastor of the village and the church choir sang to us. It was so calming and beautiful. The whole area is so serene settled in the middle of a mountain range. From there, we went to Kibebe Dairy Farm that has sustainable livestock. Not terribly interesting, but we saw mongooses and a BEAUTIFUL sunset over the mountains 😊
I mentioned it being a little chilly yesterday...Its friggin freezing!
