Here are some of the latest photos available in my file. I am happy to share with you, in case you might be able to form an idea of how life in rural Chikankata is like, and of course, how grown up are our two beautiful kids now.
One of the administrative buildings of the Biomedical College is situated in an idyllic slope surrounded by hills
I should not say gardening is my hobby. But I like to lend a hand or two to our gardener during weekends and holidays. My wife is actually better at managing our backyard garden where we grow leafy vegetables, onions, garlic, chillies, green pepper, brinjals, cauliflower, cabbage, tomatoes, pumpkins, cucumber and strawberry. At Chikankata, besides being having enriched my medical knowledge and clinical skills, I also learned a few of agriculture science
Surrounding areas of Chikankata provide good grazing grounds for cattles. For this reason, commercial farming as well as subsistence farming is quite a common activity
Joshua (son of Kennedy and Rachael) who is now in the UK will also surely miss his time with our children and the animals
My boy always considers watering the garden as his duty, and he used to do it with perfection
Having an afternoon walk around the Mission is a popular routine activity. The children especially like the dusty Chikankata street
Turkey! Christmas is approaching again. It's a popular domesticated bird around Chikankata. And it can fetch the owner a good price during the season
The Seminar Centre which is a place of many activities and hosts people of all nations for many years now. It is equipped with two conference rooms, private accomodations, kitchen, dining room, pool table, and a squash court with arena. It earns the Mission a good income
One of the species of flower in front of the Seminar Centre kitchen. And God is its maker too!
The newly constructed Biomedical College gents' hostel. It accomodates no less than 30 students
This is Chikankata Dam. It is called a 'dam' because it is a man-made lake meant to serve the Mission's many institutions and households with a steady supply of water. Mizote dil lian ber Rih Dil aiin a lian fe mai. It is just 200 metres away from our house
That's why even our children frequented the place, and often pose on the banks for a photo shot like this one
Our daughter Melissa has her hair plated like anyone of her friends here. This, I think, helps her to gain better acceptance from her peers
She likes immitating professionals! She is intelligent and smart. That's why I think she has more brains than beauty, and I expect her to remain and grow up that way

You are a true role model for your children. They are really beautiful and good to see working with parents in the garden. Whatever your hand finds to do , do it with all your might, for in the grave , where we are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom. (Ecllesiastes 9: 10).
