Dr. Younker goes to a Tonga Village in Zimbabwe

I'm writing this from South Africa after a great mission trip to a Tonga village called Siabuwa, deep in the Zambezi Valley of Zimbabwe. I've gone with some members of my church and some others to minister to the poorest people of one of the poorest countries in the world. The Tonga people are great people and have welcomed us for many years. This year, along with teaching them about God, helping the missionary-nurse treat patients, involve children in sports ministry, and visit with the people, I was able to deworm lots of goats and teach them about caring for their animals. For a small animal veterinarian like me, this is one of the greatest thrills of my life and will go back again some day. I will return around Thanksgiving. The Tonga word for goats is "ponga". I will try to post a picture or two in my next blog.
