In Kamur, we were again greeted royally. As I got to capture our arrival on video, I found a boy running, following our float plane all the way to the dock. And quite a distance he ran! A mass of people stood by to greet us. I wish I could have heard more of their life stories!
Our first night, we set up a sheet and watched Peace Child.
On the opposite side of the sheet, you could see the mirrored image. I still can hardly fathom that they had never watched a film before! The crowd of thousands filled both sides of the "screen," 360 degrees. Even without sound, adults and children were captivated! You could hear the buzz as the actors, now elderly, were recognized by their peers and children. Some sat in chairs, some on blankets, some on banana leaves. And some stood the entire time!
40 years later, we met Yohannes and a few of his children.
40 years later, a lady has nose piercing scars.
40 years later, a community has the beginnings of Kindergarten, Elementary, Junior High, High Schools.
We played the movie twice that night and twice the next.
