Rea Thloka Pula! Hona Joale!

Months of Drought, Limited Bathing and Washing, Garden of Dried Brittle Plants… Waiting for rain is another thing I’ve learned patience for here in Lesotho. For the last few months we’ve had a serious drought. At this time last year the fields were green and full of corn, sorghum and sunflowers reaching towards the hot summer sun. Now, the fields are dry red soil, some remnants of the stalks of last year wave in the breeze like scarecrows to the rain.
