All the schools are closed and many of the teachers have left because thy weren't paid. The people were stil upbeat about the brokered deal between Mugave and Tsvangirai, but as soon as we returned home Tavangirai's wife was killed in an automobile crash and he was seriously injured. The crash was suspicious and I'm not sure how the people now feel. Hopefully things will improve. We were in Zimbabwe in Febuary 2009 and the condition are worse if that is possible.

A car would be stolen the fuel removed, the car then abandoned. No grocery stores, only local markets, main source of protien was a small bag of Mopane Worms. One worm per person over boiled corn meal. Zimbabwe was the breadbasket of Africa, now this. The common people are still wonderful.
