It has been 8 years since I have been to Zimbabwe the last time. The last time I went I spent the first two weeks people from my church to help support this and the last 6 weeks I stayed alone.
It has always kept part of my heart with it the last time I left. I had forgotten how much the it meant to me until I watched Mugabe and the White African tonight.
It only showed a small aspect of the brutality and oppression Mugabe has placed on Zimbabwe, but it did pierce my heart.
I had left Zimbabwe believing I would start a non-profit organization called Tsi-Tsi (which translates to mercy)
I have done nothing.
Some of people I loved and left are still there and in a much desperate situation than I left them. A couple that I had grown to love didn't even live to see me leave.
I urge you to watch this documentary to get a small glimpse of one type of the oppression the people of Zimbabwe are having to endure.
