In the mission field
A mother holds her two youngest children, 1 and 3, in her arms in a native-made dugout canoe with brightly painted slats for seats. A Saramacan man in the front of the boat uses a pole to spot and avoid rocks in the Suriname River as the flotilla travels down river to the capital city on a resupply trip. The river is down now, typical during the dry months of August to December, which makes these hidden hazards more prevalent.
