In the last month I’ve been working on the library at the primary school with many of the books sent over by all you wonderful people. The principal, Mrs. Manase, is very appreciative and putting them to great use. As far as my other projects go I turned in the new school proposal to JICA (Japan’s foreign aid fund). Their initial response was that it was a good proposal. Music to my ears. If the current proposal is accepted for consideration we have to prepare a much more detailed proposal with an architectural design, estimate, and recommendation letters from the government. We are a long ways off but things are going smoothly so far.
The women’s committee has thrown in the towel in peanut production. This was Billy Ray Cyrus music to my ears. I offered to do a demonstration garden for them but they weren’t interested. The other program option for them is a sewing program. We put together a proposal for sewing machines and are awaiting a response from New Zealand Aid.
I’ve been here almost a year and it’s almost vacation time. My parents are coming in a few weeks and we’re heading off to New Zealand to enjoy the scenery of Lord of the Rings and the company of the Kiwi’s.
