Random Happenings

Just a few things that went on and some follow up on prior articles ... Well the same three people showed up Sunday at four (2 hours later than scheduled) for the Women's Support group meeting. In the end it was a decent one that began to clear up the air. As of now there will be a bigger meeting next Saturday. The beans in the watering efficient seedbed ( in photo ) are coming up fairly ok. In what I thought was going to be an extremely slow day turned out to be actually pretty productive. I was able to have discussions with people whom are interested in trying something. The goals need to be a little clearer but I have found that talking and coming to a point of action is where most of the work is. Also went to the health clinic and continued with the computer lessons. Now the nurse can more or less email at will. This is going to be huge seeing as we are so isolated. Went to hang out at what is called the ' China shop ' to practice the Thimbukushu language. I learned to say ' just, kick them in the butt' which added up to a quantum leap in my language skills. But the funnest thing was making a few paper airplanes for these three 10 year oldish kids. They just played with them for an hour or so. It was a good day.
