Returned from Mozambique

Hot. Overwhelming. Can't comprehend how poor people are and how little opportunity to change it. Went into Mozambique today. Weren't allowed to go far. Every time we move to a new district in Tanzania we have to register with the officials in case we disappear so they know where we were last. Twice a day we eat rice and a green spinach like vegetable. But others don't eat once. Some might find a Kasava for their family. At Lukula today we saw a PWRDF project of the 1980's. The entire village still has four goats and two cows. The cows are used for pulling a tiny wagon and there is a very old tractor. The people are very thin.
