We've been having a lot of power outs in our neighborhood this past week. For the last three days we have had at least 12 hours of no electricity a day. This isn't a terribly strange situation, sadly. It is just merely inconvenient. The most annoying bit is no hot showers, and then probably no way to communicate with friends and family over the interwebz.
With that said, we are back on the grid for the time being and I wanted you to rest assured that I have not forgotten to fill you in on what is going on.
Ian is back from his business trip a whole three days early (hooray!) and I am soaking in a slower paced week knocking some things off my to-do list while the trainees from Amani ya Juu are on break. Mind you I will still be trekking over to the office a couple days this week, but it is a little less pressure to get Amani associated things done.
As part of the the to-do list, we am near the mid to finishing stages of our newsletter and I am trying to give the newsletter and this blog a nice facelift in hopes that it will motivate us to use it even more! Here's a quick preview of my work-in-progress:
There's still a lot to do to get that to-do list ticked off.All the best!
Baraka,
Bekah

Was thinking about you guys last w/e -- Gary Haugen spoke at NCC. Love hearing him talk about the work of IJM -- and appreciate having friends to support in that work, rather than just supporting an entity. Thanks for the work you're doing over there! We appreciate you=)
ReplyDeletehey gal, I feel your pain with the power outages and internet disconnections. But in Dar we got little modems (the size of usb keys) from a phone company, Zain. (seems like all of them sell them now) It accesses the internet through the wireless phone network. Voila! We have internet access that lasts until our laptop runs out of power. Lovely to still have a connection to the outside world, even when you don't have a hot shower!;)
