Skills to know

40/40 is not just about cultural learning but also about learning life skills that can help you live better overseas. Below you will see some pictures of some of the things taught. Some learned how to tie different knots. Others practiced their baking skills without a real oven. The participants also learned how to drive on the left side of the road. I didn't get a picture of that one, I was getting out of their way.




Bryce taught all the mk's how to make a fire.


Bryce and Justin working together to light the fire with matches.


Good job!


Matthew practiced starting a fire with a magnifying glass. This was also successful.


Sheraya using a sickle.


Becky having a turn also.


Bambo Mwanza teaching the mk's different uses of a machete.
Here he is teaching how to cut down limbs or trees.

Jesse


He also showed us how to dig a hole with a machete so that you can place the poles in the ground and they will stand up.

Some learned how to change a tire.


Here Dan is teaching what all he always carries with him.


Peggy and Mwaka taught how to kill a chicken and cut it up.

I have so enjoyed the pictures from 40/40. When we first heard about this orientation, I was very skeptical and maybe even afraid. I now am actually looking forward to our time there. Isn't God great!?
