Blogging live from the tarmac of ...

The village runway/airport (in photo). I am either on the north or south end of the runway. Only know which way east and west is at the moment. This afternoon's mission is to find out where north is situated. This morning me and John (kind of a counterpart) worked cleaning out the Womens' HIV support group's vegetable garden area. It wouldn't go down as a stellar developmental example seeing as there wasn't narry a woman from the group present to participate. The majority were working in their fields and there was also a tad of communication breakdown. This is pretty much normal as we begin the process of learning how each one of us opperates and how our working styles flow. So far, every place I've been in, is totally unique from the other. But tomorrow there should be a few women there to plant the garden, hopefully. Also tomorrow the nurse at the clinic I'm assigned to will be returning from the capitol. So there is some getting on the same activities to do. Also spoke with the leader of the San cultural group and we will sit sometime this week and discuss in what and maybe where we may collaborate. Likewise met with the ministry of youth representatives and I will go to their office tomorrow to fix a problem with their computer. Hoping to build good karma there, which could open a door to possibilities later. Also picked up some discarded plastic bottles to cut to make rings to place around the stems of a few bean plants. This is to try and keep the water near the roots which hopefully results in an efficiency in watering. The water spigot is a quarter mile away. Ergo the need to be efficient. Well ... that's about it and blogging off from the tarmac of Omega village.
