Trip to Vanga in Pictures
Tuesday, April 10, 2012We left Kinshasa early in the Morning after some 'customs' and paying some fees... Bye Bye Kinshasa |
The Congo landscape changes so much. There are flat areas, hilly, rivers and valleys. Very Beautiful. |
So I got to go on the trip with a media crew that came from MAF HQ. Here they are doing a interview with david as he flys. |
This Picture is for our Grandpa's so they can see how the people in Congo Farm :-) |
hehe... A great addition in the MAF planes. So old school. |
We have people employed in Vanga to help MAF out. This guy had an awesome hat. |
Nick flies into Vanga quite often and he often buys pineapple from this lady here and she was SOOOO excited to be able to meet me. This day she was selling oranges instead of pineapples though. |
Brother Reinhart, there are 3 German doctor monks that live in Vanga and help run the hospital. |

If you are in the hospital here in Congo your family must provide food and clothing for you. |
A little girl I was playing peek-a-boo with ^_^ |

After Visiting the hospital, David Francis flew the Caravan and we were in the 182 and did some formation flying to be able to take some video and pictures! Sooo much fun :-) |

Hi Nick & Jocelyn
ReplyDeleteNice pictures! Vanga has changed a lot since my time there! When I was there, the village was basically between the airstrip and the river. Do you more have other pictures of this area showing the hospital and workshops and church.
Also, next time you are there, please give my greetings to Brother Reinhart and other brothers (I remember Gotfried, Rudi, George)
