		Vanga explained her extraordinary clairvoyance by the presence of some transparent creatures whose origin she could not explain, and who sent her information about people, which she could not relate to the suffering.
		Vanga watched one’s life as if it were a movie, from birth to death, but she was powerless to change one’s karma.

		Certainly the pale eyes suggest Red-shouldered Vanga, but the lack of red shoulder on the female is adversary to a change of identification.

	Vanga family
		All the vangas require woodland of some type — from thick humid jungle to dry open spiny forest — and so are good indicators of the presence of native habitat.
		Taxonomically, the vangas were known to be related to African families such as the helmetshrikes, wattle-eyes and batises (indeed, Sibley and Ahlquist 1990 and Sibley and Monroe 1990 lumped all these groups together) but most authorities considered them a separate family (e.g., Dickinson 2003).
		These data show that helmet-shrikes and vangas are very closely related, and it possible that in the long run these two families may be grouped together.

		We had recently returned to Congo from home assignment and were settling back in Vanga, a place dear to our hearts; a place to which God has called us to serve since 1995.
