I Stayed With a Local Family in a Rural Village in Zambia(Tonga Tribe)

I am so grateful I had the opportunity to stay with a local family in the rural village in Zambia called Batoka. They are from the Tonga Tribe, and I was blown away at the hospitality they showed me. Right now it is rainy season, so they have been busy planting their corn crops as that is the main staple of their diet. They village was rural, but a bit more modern then I expected. Everyone in the village was so excited to have a foreigner visiting at it is a very rare occurrence there. I did my best to learn some of the Tonga language, but it is actually quite hard! What a beautiful culture it is.

Indian and most Asian countries are over populated and they looking for one way ticket out of India, so they hate everyone including some of their own, that’s what happens with over population, As an African I will always love being African, the only continent that is. True to nature

I love your Country Zambia so much!! The country the people, all of it.❤

[@Thegolanes3]

I am so lost for words. Not sure what took you to Batoka oh how you got there but im sure it was a trip that left lasting memories not just in you but also the wonderful people of that village. Sitting here in my cozy living room in Ireland and watching your video, all i could see is Love, Humility and respect for the culture of the local people. You could have pointed out all the things you may have found challenging to adjust to such as "no hair dryer, no electricity, no running water" but instead you chose to embrace what you found and became one with the people. Last time i met such an amazing person like you, i married her. With a heart and attitude like that, you can surely call anywhere on earth home. Love and respect from your New Zambian/Irish fans. Call in for a caeli as they say in Ireland if you ever came to this neck of the wood. Keep loving sister!
