Saoirse will find this one very boring as she's heard it all before:)I have had a week off from teaching this week as
I wanted to concentrate on getting the day centre up and running. We have been
given a donation of $7500 and with that have been able to get started. It’s
only enough for six months though so I have been visiting UNICEF and World
Vision. They have offices in a town about 100 miles west of here and I managed
to get a lift with another NGO. The roads are so bad my
bum was really sore when we got back. We are having our first meeting with the widows tomorrow to see what
business they’d like to start up.(update..they decided they'd like a farm and Bishop has given us land whoop whoop...everything is possible through God)
Today I went to market and got a boda boda (motor bike taxi..keep up).. back. I decided to take a detour and get him to take me up one of the hills
round here. We got most of the way up and then got off and walked. At the top I
was delighted to be able to see Maridi from above. Apparently there are about
40,000 inhabitants, they make so little impact on the environment you can
barely see anything but the bush. I was also delighted by the butterflies up
there. Loads of them - all different colours and patterns. (just like this
bloomin American spell and grammer checker that’s underling everything I
type!!!)
talk soon xxxxxxxxxxx
