I would like to introduce you to my wife Beatrice, my 7 children, plus one on the way. In my tribe Nyanga, big families are respected. Those having only one or two kids are considered to be weak.

Beatrice is due next month. We don’t know the sex, but I would like to have a baby girl. Beatrice is 37 years old. I am 41. She will give birth in Mutwanga Hospital, wich will cost us u$s 20 approximately.

Rachel is my oldest daughter, she goes to secondary school. We pay u$s 20 for the first trimester, and then two more trimesters of u$s 12 each. Sitting next to her is Tony wearing a red shirt. He is eleven years old, and goes to primary school. It costs a little bit less: u$s 8 for the first trimester and then two more trimesters of u$s 5 each. Beside him is Didier, he is 6 years old. Next to him my daughter Olga, 12, who wants to be a ranger! In the pink dress is Lydia who is 7 years of age. Beside Beatrice, with the blue shirt and green stripes, is Richard who is 4 years old. And last but not least, Jose, 2 years and a half. He wants to be a ranger too.

Every chance Jose has, he will grab my boots, hat and radio to dress up like a real ranger!

Down below in the next picture you will see my kids with their friends (sons and daughters of other rangers).
