So What Does Nzou Mean?
August 1, 2008 – 7:00 am“Nzou” is the Shona word for elephant. Shona is one of the two main indigenous languages of the country of Zimbabwe (Africa). My grandparents were life-long missionaries in the country of Zimbabwe (41 years), and adopted the name nzou as their totem or clan name. It was their way of adapting to the culture of the people that they served.
I registered nzou.com because I thought it would be a neat way for me to celebrate my grandparents’ legacy.
Zimbabwe is a beautiful country, with beautiful people. Unfortunately, it is on the brink of economic collapse. The average person is starving and the general population is dying at an unbelievably high rate from HIV/AIDS.
http://www.zimbabwe911.com is an organized effort to send a container of supplies over to an orphanage for the children of AIDS victims. Many of the orphans have HIV themselves. I really hope that the customs agents in Zimbabwe let this container go through without pilfering it.
