Major flooding, wrapping up Term 1, and over 30 pictures are after the text!

Rain, rain, and more rain. Water? Water? Still no water.

In my last post I mentioned the summer, from about January to April, is the rainy season. From what I could tell at the beginning was that things were pretty normal. It rained the entire first week I was in the North, but from there, rained a few times a week with a few weeks getting no rain. At times it had been wet even changing the way I walked to school, but seemingly normal until a few weeks ago. Since then the entire North and some of the Northeast of Namibia has experienced severe flooding. Schools have closed, both crops and roads have been damaged, and some people have been forced from there homes. In Omungwelume the paved road to Oshakati has been washed away, cutting all traffic, and the water from the tap has been off since Wednesday 23 March.
