Prologue - if you just want the story, skip this paragraph: For those of you who knew me in college, you must have thought I grew unusually silent over my time in Mozambique. It’s true – I just didn’t know how to process some of the things we were going through, and they are so far out of everyday life for most Americans that I didn’t know what I could/should say. I still don’t know on some things, but that’s not always the point. I hope you find these stories thought-provoking and learn from my mistakes! Everything I’m writing is as true as I can make it – cross-referenced with the other people there at the time, but my memory can be a bit hazy at times. I’ll specifically point out the details I don’t remember well.
