On Sunday I
had been speaking with Camille about which part of Switzerland the new
volunteer might be from, it turns out he is from the French part. This means
that he does not speak English, which makes it a bit difficult to communicate
though of course I speak a bit French, but I am not home all day, but of course
the children doesn’t care which language he speaks so that won’t be a problem
there. Today at the Riverside group we talked to them they were supposed to
bring books and things so that we could do bookkeeping refresher training, but
of course they didn’t, but I just hope they bring it next time. We had a lot of
things to do at the office, but not so much time before my Swahili lesson, as
it was right after lunch, after Sunday I still needed 33 hours and after today
I’m down to 30 hours. I also had a lesson Tuesday which means there are 28
hours left. On Tuesday as Chrissie is in Zanzibar and Gustav was feeling unwell
I was the only volunteer to go to the field, which didn’t really matter so much
as none of the two groups had prepared what they were supposed to. In the first
one there was only one person present because the others had to go to a
government thing because the want to learn how to and get support to plant
mushrooms. I had lunch at Elizabeth’s place, which was really good. I met her 4
months old boy, he was really cute. Otherwise I have been busy planning Mt.
Meru and Zanzibar and having all the Swahili, so there is plenty to do, but as
Thomas Jefferson once said: it is wonderful how much may be done if we are always
doing.
