Thanks for the pictures, Wayne. You're showing us something that very
few Westerners see. It's a great use of a camera!
You may not _think_ you're rich or famous, Wayne, but -- trust me -- you
are. Just as these villagers tell of that earlier visitor decades ago,
they will tell about your visit for decades to come. That radio might
even become a kind of family heirloom. That's not fame?
And even though you may not drive a fancy car or live in a mansion, you
_are_ rich -- both in finances and spirit. Your willingness to share
what you have with those who are not as well off makes you rich.
God bless you and your work, Wayne.
Steve
