Around the table – Around the world

 

Yesterday for lunch after church we went out to lunch with some other folks.  At the table was a couple from Zimbabwe.  There was a family – wife from Holland, husband from Germany.  Then there was our family and Bethany from US.  I always find it so interesting the number of places people are from that we know.  Eckert, the German, works for an organization that identifies children with disabilities and tries to hook them up with whatever help they need.  They have lived in Africa for 20 years, met in Sierre Leone.  They had to evacuate from Zaire at one point.  They are very familiar with living in the bush, although now they live in Lusaka, especially so their 3 children will have a good education.
