Interesting story that pertains to teams -The team that just left Kasana went on safari over the weekend. On Monday, the day they were due to arrive back at Kasana, I receive a text message from a New Hope Staff member who was hosting the team on safari. The text said that the 'thing that holds the front wheels together had broken.' My immediate reaction was one that I am not too proud of - I busted out laughing! What actually had happened was that the thingy that keeps both wheels steering in the same direction (I am by no means a mechanic) had broken and a team member used his belt to hold it together until they were able to push the vehicle to a safe spot. The team made it back safely - many hours after their anticipated arrival, but they made it back. We sent up different vehicles to retrieve them and now they all have a story or two to tell everyone back home.
I am finally finished with my parasite medication - at times, the medication's side effects were worse than the parasite. But for now, I'm fine.
Yesterday was the Institute's turn to help maize harvest. It was fun to be out and working alongside my classmates and the students from the secondary school. Picking maize brought back the glory days of selling sweet corn as a child. Oh, how I thought it was the worst job ever! Especially when my grandma made me wear a sign advertising our sweet corn!
Today is Parent's Day at the Primary School. We are playing games, laughing and enjoying one another's company. Supposedly I am one of the judges, but I will have to wait and see. Whatever I end up doing, I'm sure it will be a blast. The kids in David Family are sure excited to participate in it!
