from one river to another...
this one finds our family headed to the Buzi River of Sussundenga, Mozambique

Living and responding and building with our beloved family across Mozambique and South Africa, we are supporting the grassROOTS yet innovative vision of Anteparo Architects to sustainably rebuild rural homes, schools villages that have been destroyed by cyclone. The mission begins on 30 May in Nhanhemba, a village on the Buzi River in the Sussundenga district of Manica province of Mozambique. Here the community movement begins for intelligent design, cooperation and the sharing of ideas as we move humbly together into the light of professional and spiritual service. Several troupes of volunteers with backgrounds in architecture and natural building (Mozambican and South African) preparing to join the project. Estamos juntos!
