There is no place like Kariba...
With the project coming to an end, our hearts have started to ache at the thought of leaving this magical place. I grew up in Bulawayo and we left Zimbabwe when I was 15. This Country has been through so much, its people have suffered unbelievably. I can safely say that almost everyone I have spoken to has lost everything and had to start for scratch at some point, with land invasions and hyperinflation. What blows my mind is the incredible community that still exists here. The way people look out for one another and are so caring and kind. The friendliness and openness. The lack of bitterness and resentment. The ladies in the running club I joined are just phenomenal to say the least. They are so upbeat and are able to joke about everything. They make light of it all and have so much patience for things that would drive any regular first world country member around the bend. Kariba has given me so much perspective. There really is no place like it. I am so grate...
