Familia Pablanu, ignore the criticism and live the best way you think for you and your family- I actually admire you for taking the bold steps you made to take your children to Africa and to let them experience a different way of life- they will appreciate it later on! Great as well you are speaking an African language with your children. If things don’t work out, you do have options. Good luck to you and your family!
Hello beautiful family. It’s good to see you all are doing well. I’m sorry you had a bad experience in christianity or see it as an occult. As a believer of Jesus Christ, I pray that you will experience his true love. Blessings to you and family. ❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾
Jesus Christ is the way ,the life and the truth,He came so we might have life in it's fullness.The peace He gives trancedes man's understanding I pray you will find a true encounter with Him. God bless you
I was very proud of them and their skills and adaptability! They actually learned when we first moved to this town a year ago, because all public toilets are like that, as well as their school toilets.
As long as its clean thats how most of us grew up you just need asmall 5 litre jerrican of water to wash up after....and always smoke it after awhile have you heard of that?
@@familiapablanu not atall...it's dry matooke leaves we used to use u light it up and throw it in it takes seconds to burn lol...but sato is diffidently better...
How does one bathe or shower without running water. How do you do laundry. Is this an adventurous time for your family. How is this easier than living in the states? Help your viewers understand your life in this way of living.
It's the cultural difference that makes the U.S less desirable, to be honest. Economically the U.S allows one to be more financially prosperous faster, but the culture overall has fallen hard, especially in regards to the family.
It's a bit more difficult but you can do it . Just how the Western world did it over a 100 yrs ago. Get water and a bucket and wash yourself. Also the same with clothes. If you have an outdoor shower with a bag or tank filled with water..you then can have a "make shift" shower. Just like those camping showers. There's ways,just not as convenient. If there was a river close by they could wash everything there also.
Good morning beautiful family, wanted to ask how you deal with tension and community unacceptable, I am currently in north Nigeria having grown in Lagos all my life...any advise will be much appreciated
Hello my sister! 😊 Thank you for confiding in me about your situation. I used to live in Sabo (Hausa/Fulani colony) in Ogun state for most of my early life, so what I would recommend based on that and our experiences here in Uganda is 1) learn the language(s), trying your very best, even if you just start with greetings, because if you try, people appreciate that a LOT and you are much closer to being accepted and it opens the door to interact much more with them. 2) Search out similarities instead of focusing on the differences. Even if you are Christian/Yorùbá and they are not, being open to and embracing their culture by starting with the similarities and appreciating them, while in the background working on your biases regarding the differences will help. 3) Embrace their FOOD! Try everything at least once and wait to form your opinion on the dishes until after you've tried them from different vendors/restaurants/homes, as they may make the dishes differently. And try to go to market regularly, learning to bargain in the language(s) and learning about new fruits/vegetables/etc. and how to prepare them. If you cook, try cooking new local dishes, or if you have a cook, ask them to make local dishes and slowly modify them to your tastes. This may also save you money as well as make you more familiar with local tastes and even taboos. (A bonus recommendation is to learn about and respect local taboos! Because you are not a local, breaking taboos could be more tolerated or less tolerated, so it's best to do your homework and respect all taboos, even if you might not understand them or agree with them, initially). Feel free to DM me on Insta if you want to discuss more! Would love to know more about your adventure to the North!
Thank you so much for your support! About half makes it to us, unless you send it via an iPhone, in which case even less reaches us 😊 Which country are you in? There are safer ways that don't skim so much off the top.
I am not sure why you are carrying out your “experiment “ or healing in Uganda. You can pursue a much more comfortable and organic existence inUganda if you choose to. You are not show casing Uganda in a positive light. What are your motives? Why not Nigeria? It is such a massive and diverse country, which can offer the exact conditions and more, including pit latrines and the like, if these are crucial to your healing process from your past. I am flabbergasted to be honest. Why the Pearl of Africa? .
We are immigrants to Uganda. I don't know if you'd call immigrants to the US or UK as "experimenting", though healing, perhaps. We immigrated here and are making a life for ourselves and raising/teaching our children. If you've been following us you'll see it has been taking a bit longer than we expected, but we are hoping that this will be our year to see real returns on our investments and the work we've been putting in to different professional endeavors! ✊ More on that as we progress! 😁
Haha pit latrines are not "essential to our healing" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I don't think we would have "chosen" it, but sometimes life gives you lemons, but it's what you do with them that defines who you are. For us, it was a bit of a relief, since the kids (and the ladies helping us who were not used to indoor plumbing) were causing havoc with misusing the plumbing in our previous houses (though, of course, this change has also been l bit of an inconvenience and learning curve for us as well, but a good one).
@@familiapablanu Apologies for the misunderstanding.Very best wishes on your journey. The going may be tough at the moment but there is bound to be light at the end of the tunnel. The kids seem happy and healthy, though.
Hello good to see you in Uganda but Yiu should stop allowing the kids to just pick-up those things cause one day they may find a snake and thing it's harmless and touch it .. otherwise I wish you all the best in Uganda our homeland
If I understand this video correctly. I do not think it is accurate to say Christian cult. Belief in JESUS as the SON of GOD and Savior of all mankind is not a cult activity. A cult teaches false doctrine. The Holy Bible teaches the Truth.
Please don't misunderstand, we define it as such because cults can have any type of religion as their base (there are many out there with a base in Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, animism, shintu, Catholicism, pseudoscience, a famous footballers--namely Maradona...*anything*). But this particular cult that we were in was built on Protestant Christianity as it's base, hence us calling it a "Christian cult". TRIGGER WARNING: The following includes a graphic, fictitious example of violence. Imagine that an extreme group existed which based their teaching on the Christian Bible and, in particular, on the story of Jesus, but then they take the biblical call to *be like Jesus* (see Phil 3:10-11, 1 Peter 2:21, 1 John 2:6, Gal 2:20, etc.) so seriously that they (in faith) submit themselves to ritual crucifixion on rough-hewn crosses imitating Jesus and his death, with the hopes that they will either go to heaven with honors, or that they will be resurrected by the same God and live forever...depending on their interpretation. Such things can and do exist in this world. It only takes one messed up individual to make it happen (though, usually, such leaders go for money, sex, and fame rather than violence). So we share our story not just for our healing, but for others to be very cautious, making good use of their brains to question the reasoning and morality behind all religious leadership and their teachings, rather than simply taking them as truth out of a hijacked "faith".
@@familiapablanu Oh ok. We do have to be careful for sure. I pray to have a spirit of discernment. I see what you’re saying now. I’m sorry if I offended you and your family. I didn’t understand initially. 🙏🏾
What's the point of this existence? I thought u were suppose to make life better? Children are literally the most vulnerable and pliable little humans.
Hence the best time to teach them about adaptability to other cultures, languages, and ways of life is when they are youngest and most flexible 😊 What they learn will stay with them for the rest of their lives and break barriers for them. The temporary discomfort or initial difficulty fades almost immediately, unlike with older children who know a "softer" or just different way of life. Imagine an American 10-year-old who's used to no chores, only TV, tablets, phones, and video games and little/no outside time, community or sunlight and poor nutrition of empty carbs, sweet, salty processed foods only, and living a cognitively- and socially-constrained, English-only life. They would complain about every aspect of living in Uganda until they died! ...Even if they were staying at Serena hotel in Kampala the whole time 😂🤣 So please, we are just sharing our simple life (which seems to fascinate people), and if you or others want to share about your lives, that is also fine, and we won't judge 😊
@@familiapablanu I agree with you .I keep telling my kid when she's misbehaving that I will send her to Africa for a few years so she can learn the culture and everything else.Those kids will be grateful for these experiences when they are adults.i was born/raised in Africa but my kid was born/raised in the US.
I wish I had raised my kid n Africa.You are doing what you think it's best for your family and that's all what matters.People will always judge no matter what ..So just ignore them and live your best life in Africa with your family❤

I like what you’re doing in highlighting the usage of chemicals in our food produce. There must be a more organic way to grow food.
PERMACULTURE
God great blessings on this family
That's good, you've are doing a great job teaching them about pit latrin
I was very proud of them and their skills and adaptability! They actually learned when we first moved to this town a year ago, because all public toilets are like that, as well as their school toilets.
I would like to know about organic free farming. Im in for healthier foods
Working on putting public health announcements together!
Maybe homeschooling curriculum would be a wise option? also, i hope yall are currently looking for another cost effective suitable rental?
I just knew they were homeschooling, kinda surprised.
It's certainly temporary (both the school and the house) because we have much greater dreams of building both! More to come on that as it unfolds 😉
I would never let my children live that way unless i have no other way out. But u have a choice to let your children live better.
From our perspective, this is actually far better than what we had in the US, both for the kids and for us 😊
As long as its clean thats how most of us grew up you just need asmall 5 litre jerrican of water to wash up after....and always smoke it after awhile have you heard of that?
Smoke it? Sounds useful, but maybe dangerous? I'd be afraid of it exploding 😂
But now we have a Sato toilet cover, so much fancier now 😊

You will never understand it unless you have lived it.Some people choose happiness over material things(what you call a good life in the states)

Why can't they just pour the urine in the grass by the fence instead of having to pour it exactly in the pit?
Lots of urine will make it smell bad there, best to make good use of the latrine 👍
Probably kill the grass too and polluted the ground. Not wise especially if they want to grow things. IDK?😊
@@lusimyer It will not kill the grass. Urine is not toxic so it can not pollute anything. People, such as Dr. Sebi, even drink it.
Nah! It’s best to pour it in the pit latrine! Pouring it in the grass is just gross,🤮 it would leave a terrible unbearable smell after a while
