Mozambique!

I just got back from one week in the peaceful and untouched beaches of Tofo, about 5 hours north of Maputo by car. I went with a group of 15 volunteers from Australia, UK, and Iceland mainly, that have been working in Swaziland for some months now. Many of them are teachers in their homeland so they come to Africa and volunteer their time, energy, and resources working in remote villages where they are needed, others actually build schools and hospitals, work with orphans (mainly because of HIV/Aids), and when they leave, they end up sponsoring one child, sometimes as many as 5, so they can continue to get food, schooling, and proper resources until the age of 7.

They do all of this through All Out Africa, a company that has a beautiful mission: "To engage people from around the world in the research and action necessary for a sustainable Africa".

Bob and Psycology were there to guide, feed, and take care of us while in Tofo. They were a joy to be with!

Mozambique is so vibrant in color, energy, and happiness. We kayaked to the Isle de Imhambane where we had a local lunch of spinach with peanut sauce, coconut rice, prawns, fried sweet bread, tomato salad, and refreshing young coconut water. A Sea Safari was next, where we spotted the great whale sharks (ranging from 4 meters up to 9 meters long) and actually got to swim right next to them!! we also saw some dolphins...

I hope you enjoy these images!!
