EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of Christian missionaries in East Africa's Rhodesia during the 1910s, as they embark on their daily journey to promote agricultural advancement in the region. Dressed in their simple white robes and hats, the missionaries mount their steadfast oxen, ready to traverse the rugged terrain and reach the fields where they will teach local communities the value of sustainable farming practices. The missionaries' commitment to improving the lives of the African people is evident in their determined expressions and the tools they carry with them, including seed packets and farming implements. Their dedication to this cause was a significant contribution to the region's development, as they not only introduced new farming techniques but also fostered a sense of community and cooperation among the local population. The vast savannah stretches out behind them, dotted with acacia trees and rolling hills. The sun casts a warm glow over the landscape, creating a sense of tranquility and purpose. The missionaries' journey may have been long and arduous, but their unwavering commitment to their cause kept them going, as they rode their oxen towards another day of promoting agricultural advancement in this beautiful and challenging part of the world.
