"It's a two day drive to get there! I love the Himba but I am sorrowed to see the bad influence that globalization has had on their village. For instance alcohol and prostitution is a huge problem today in their villages due to the large influx of tourists coming in with their culture and world views. We must protect cultures and people groups."
