Nyadire Mission has a number of staff houses that we stay in.  We stay two or three to a room in single beds.  Each house has a common area and kitchen.  Nyadire residents do the cooking and cleaning for us.

 

 

·          What is Nyadire Mission like?

Think of it like a college campus—various departments occupying different buildings spread over a large area.  Nyadire Mission has many departments: schools, hospital, orphanage, farm, etc.

 

The people are extremely friendly and happy to have us there.  They are very welcoming and hospitable.

·          What do we eat?

We generally have a starch dish—rice, pasta, or sadza (made from corn meal); meat—chicken, beef, other poultry; and vegetables—tomatoes, onions, peas, carrots.  Often we’ll have ice cream or something else for dessert.
