Weekend in Africa

On saturday we had a funeral. It was not of someone I knew but the father of some boys I know. It is very sad to see them suffer. It was a nice funeral, lots of singing, crying and dancing. It took for around 5 hours. What mostly chocked me that the sons were not near the mother the whole day. They were among friends. They really had a hard time.



On sunday we went to a church. Not because I am religious but just to enjoy the people singing. Each time I go in a church or hear these people sing and pray to the Lord, I wonder why is the Lord not hearing them? Why do these people have to suffer so much? I do get sad thinking about it. When we got there they already started singing. The man who runs the church is a very kind cheerfull person who does a lot of things for the community. He gave us a warm welcome and we were presented to the people. It´s a time of joy and sadness at the same time.
