Also, students from all over the continent were learning to love and appreciate one another, as they were finally able to communicate through the English language (English was a requirement the first year). I talked with students from Nigeria and the Congo, and instead of hatred and war, there was peace and comeradery. The hope was that these feelings would spread to their individual homelands when they returned, and all of Africa could work together to restore peace and cooperation, working together to restore and prosper and combat poverty and starvation and disease. I was devastated to learn of what was happening there, and pray for all of Zimbabwe and Africa and the innocents caught up in a struggle for power and greed for the few.
