Blessed day
Hi, i know that i have had some requests for photos but it is hard to attach them as the internet speed is so slow, but will try!!
I have had a mixed day, our driver for project comfort has been bereaved, so fieldwork could not happen in the vehcile. I went to a parent support group, as there had been a complaint. To find that the chairman was at market and only one other person showed up!! but was able to address the complaint. Then i went to see if a note had been dropped at the methodist church concerning, comfirming the attendance of a child to see the surgeon with us next week. There was no note! So i left another one to be passed to the minister working in that area, asking him to drop anothernote by next tuesday! communication is so hard, mobiles do not work well.
I then came into town having 4 hours to spare, hence writing this. Been to market and bought all the things i needed including lots of mangos, and a pineapple - life can not be too bad. Food colouring for playdo, andn playing cards to help with matching.
I found somewhere that photocopying quicker than a snail!!! and talked to a man there who has invited us to his house to get to know him. This will be great to get to know those outside Amaudo.
The went to the post office. but they have gone home. looked at the book shop and the man recognised me from a wedding we went to over the weekend, again i will enjoy going back to his stall and he will help me to get some books written by Nigerians. and now i am here.
We are going out for tea tonight with the other uk volunteer and the founder of Amaudo.
Thinking about the weddings this weekend that i am going to miss, would have loved to celebrate with you all.
Life without love is like a tree without blossom and fruit.
thinking of you all
