Security Taken

A call is made to the security shack near the gate, a heavy deadlock is lifted follow by a small bold lock to be slid to the right, before the big green metal door is able to be moved to allow the missionary van to enter. Two guards stand post near this entrance, the only entrance and exit during the day, and one gigantic man at night. The wall that surrounds the house is at least 10ft. tall and 2ft thick, thus it doesn’t allow any to look in or climb over. Each guard posted has a machete str4apped to their side for guardian purposes. Though no problem occurred during our stay, the idea of not protecting American youth from the dangers of African poverty is unwise. Fortunately people don’t think like that, but similar views are shared. In talking with the missionary who assisted us during our stay for this project, I was able to get some off the top of his head stats. “Around 80% of missionary homes in Africa have a fortress and guards on shifts. Around 30% get attacked every rear, and 89% of those times out of country students are present on missionary trips.
