They said it would start to rain and we have experienced some, and yes it does pour when it rains.
I think that our last blog must have sounded a bit negative, so i want to share with you some of the good things that have happened this week.
It is mothering sunday which lasts all week, and i was invited to speak on how to surive difficult times in the presbeterian church. I hope to be able to attend some of their service on sunday.
I also went to one of the staff's houses that I work with Uzoma, she welcomed me well, and was a much friendlier character than at work, and i had some hot chocolate.
Also here in the internet cafe we have bumped into Martha who works at Amaudo 1.
My job is going well and it is a great privalege to be welomed into peoples home and try to help them with their children.
I have been trying to build up relationships with the local primeministers and church leaders, as they can ensure the exerises continue once we are gone. To welcome people, they give you cola, which is a bitter nut that contains tobacco, or garden eggs. that are like bitter raw courgette. Also you put a mark of chalk on you to show you have been welcomed.
Throug meeting these leaders we have got new referrals and tried to give the parents some hope, some of the referals it is sad. If the child had been referred at age 2 we could much more than at 11 years.
Andy is well, he has been visiting bishops this week trying to get money for Amaudo.

Hello Hazel & Andy!
Being made with 'garden eggs,' Nigerian Cola certainly differs to the conventional soft beverage! It sounds like an excellent greeting. Mongolians may exchange snuff upon meeting each other, but to my distorted mind the Nigerians have it sorted. 'Nuff respect to the both of you. I look forward to your next post.
