Look at all the parcels in the bag.

Off to the party.

Whew - that was hard work.

  2. Wonderful. I feel all choked up...
    I think I've been away from Africa too long, and missed all the name changes. I thought Chimoio was in Moçambique (note the correct lettering.!)..? Obviously there is another one.
    How happy and relaxed everyone looks. Makes me want to come home.

  3. Brian Snyman (RhAF) Writes:-

    Having just seen Bob Manser's pics of Father Christmas alighting from his fire-engine red Alo, I am amazed that these people, I assume, live in Chimoio. I also assume they farm the land and provide jobs to the locals too - typical old Rhodesian spirit and I take my hat off to them.
    I subsequently looked further into Alo ZU-RFI and found a posting from you in Jan 2012, with Bob Manser requesting any info regarding this Alo. If he is still looking for info, I have some for him - just let me know if I can send it to him directly or if it must go via yourself.

  4. I believed in Santa until I was 11 and only found out he wasn't real when i started to grown up. Anyway here this santa played a great role and children are looking so happy in their face.Regards: Case study writing service
