On the journey


Our good friend Bernice dropped us off at HR5in the middle of Thursday afternoon and we had a few hours spare and so we regaled Don with the history of OpTan and where we are now wth our SSB's. Spot on departure and now we are over the Sahara and sleep eludes me!
Arrived at Dar and met by Phanuel and Sayuni Skekihiyo who are both pastors. They look after the contsiner when it gets to Dar and organise the distribution.
Bought some local SIM cards to facilitate the training next week.
Found out that Sayuni has launched two village community banks.  These are the succesors of the SSP's that we started in some years ago.  These banks work like English credit unions but more directed towards income producing startups. The banks are government controlled.  We like the concept.
Found a chicken business expert! Sayuni's. sister
Just out for a meal at the Shekihiyo residence. Margaret is eager to see their school and church
Need to get in early because we are staying at a Carmalite Convent for the night and there is a curfew at 10.00. Suits us we didn't sleep last night.
