Xai-Xai

September 10 2006
A lightning trip 200KMs north of Maputo
to see the SAT project in Gaza Province's Capital





Typical village on the banks of the Limpopo River: it's easy to see why the area is so vulnerable to floods
This is not even at high water level....


On the bridge over the River Limpopo


A Typical "cane hut" This would be one room of a multi-hut family compound.


Xai-Xai is a small, quiet, clean town

And the band plays on


Heather's first business was a meeting with Town Councillors.....


...followed by lunch


The afternoon 's business was a visit to the Feild office of the small Lado-Lado organisation

Lado-Lado means side by side, implying partnership

Some of the volunteer "Activistas" (community workers)
