    A Trip to a Himba Village (by Lewis)

    We went to a Himba village near Opuwo, Namibia. Their houses are quite simple and very different from modern US houses. Inside their houses, the Himba people sleep on a sack or animal skin instead of beds. Right outside the house, they cook their food in an ash pile on the ground. Similar to the kids in the United States, the kids in the Himba village like playing pass with the soccer ball. The effects of global warming are much worse there than in the United States. Global warming there means lack of rain and water, which leads to lack of food, which leads to hungry people & animals, which leads to starving people and animals, and that leads to death.
