I'd hate to see this same type of thing happen there. It's ended up being this long running joke now with my friends, they laugh and try to guess what they will ask for every year in place of the tree's. lol! That’s awesome!

In Burundi it's a lot different than Sudan. You can purchase land and have a title for the property. Thanks Sherry for the question. In Burundi it’s a lot different than Sudan.

It was interesting to me, I guess because it's different that what I'd seen before. I was curious, is this the same way in Burundi? Also, they were stuck in this "cycle" with the original "tree owner" of their land, as he kept coming back demanding more payment over and over again (in the form of a bicycle, water, etc.). They told me they had to continue to do this, there were no laws to protect them. I know you are missing Claude and your little one! We are praying for them and for you! Sherry Kelley,
