We visited this poor village and could feel the despair. These Ovatwa people are not related to the Himba people but do imitate the Himba. This village has few or no animals, is far from water, and has little food. We did bring them some food, but fear that it will not last very long. The sadness was palpable but when one of our photographers took out and flew his drone the village people (especially the children) came alive. It was so nice to see smiles on their faces.
