Thursday - Timber Gathering



Every thursday the people from the township are allowed to collect timber for their daily needs. I caught this guy on his way back after his hard day of work collecting timber that needs to last until next thursday. His english was very poor, but the friendliness of the Zimbabwean people was shown through this friendly guy.Zimbabwe is a wonderful country, thankfully things are getting better, praise the Lord.Three weeks in this amazing country was some the best time of my life. Coming from Australia I had never seen real poverty or hardship. When someone can't even afford propper shoes for their children and live in such poverty, yet they still smile and laugh. Such a touching place to visit.
