It has not rained for six months now. The rain season usually starts at the beginning of October.Am fearing for the worst, you see the memory of the big drought is still very fresh in my mind. Everybody in the community is scared.......although we have known drought and famine as part of our lives, we are not yet strong enough to undergo another drought. The previous was devastating and we were hoping that we will have a break to replace the livestock and the trees we lost. Have those people in the big cities not stopped polluting the environment? Brothers it is we who suffer the most for your mistakes. You know when rains fail you can afford to buy food from the other side of the world but we lack money.You told us to plant trees so that rain can come and we did that. Now we have been watering those trees for the last six months and now we have no more water. I hear you have i pod and it is a powerful phone please use it to call the rain and tell it to come quickly before we loose our trees and livestock. While we wait for rain, please buy our woodcarvings so that we can afford the next meal.
Brothers and sisters in the big cities please remember us and help us plant trees so that rain can come. You know we are a hard working people so when rain come we will plant a billion trees, good crops and get good harvests which we will share with you. We will sell our fat animals to you and the best fruit. So help us by buying our woodcarvings and beads. Also sent us your old computers to show our children to learn like your children. For now we are going to pray for rain still waiting to hear from you...............bye bye...!!!
May th e lord send rain to your part of the world
