For the past few weeks, Levi's class at Sahel has been studying transportation. Their first field trip on this subject was out to the road near the school to count the modes of transportation they saw going by. They saw people walking, camels with huge loads, donkey carts, moto's with anywhere from 3-4 people riding on it, packed bush taxis and more bicycles than they could count. Their second field trip was to SIM Air's airplane hangar. SIM Air exists to help take missionaries out to their remote stations, thereby saving them days of travel time. They also help to transport needed supplies for the missionaries, such as medical supplies, food, and other items. SIM Air also helps with medical evacuations for missionaries so they can get the medical help they need that is not available out in the bush.
Levi and his class had a great time sitting in the cockpit of the 2 SIM Air planes, trying on the headphones and talking to a real missionary pilot. I know this is a memory that Levi will never forget as he grows up. Pray for the missionary pilots, for their safety and for the missionaries that they serve.
