The family Chamaeleonidae are a distinctive and highly specialized clade of lizards. They are distinguished by their parrot-like zygodactylous feet, their separately mobile and stereoscopic eyes, their very long, highly modified, and rapidly extrudable tongues, their swaying gait, and the possession by many of a prehensile tail, crests or horns on their distinctively shaped heads, and the ability of some to change color.
Well apart from the parrot-like feet, very long tongue a prehensile tail we have the same ability to change color. Mozambique is a unique and colorful place – including personalities.
With everyone helping us from so far as Cape Town, South Africa here is how some colour was brought back to Mozambique:
Some of our orphan houses got a new paint job! These houses usually hosts a family (mother – widow) and three orphans. They work as a normal family unit would.
Groups visiting from South Africa took the task on their shoulders to colour-in the world of our orphan families.
WOMEN CONSTANTLY CHANGE COLOR TOO!
Our Ladies program, Simukai (which is a Shona word meaning “Stand Up!”) is still very busy after the harvesting season. They are currently busy embroidering designs for Mozambican aprons, handbags and napkins. And off course mothers and their children are inseparable – so also “not paying” attention as kids sometimes do.
