Goat time

Today is our last full day in Luanda. In the morning we went through the leftover supplies, part of which we are using for spares at the clinic and the rest we are donating to another nearby school so that they can build their own rainwater catchment system. After this I reviewed the maintanence information again with Michael the security guard. We had arranged for a well surveyor to come out and surveyor the surrounding area. We spent about an hour with the surveyor looking around for a good site to survey and then watched him use his machinery to test for groundwater. He apparently looks for changes in resistance in the ground to find the groundwater. This evening we are having a farewell party in our honor. Viagenco killed a goat and two chickens (one of which temporarily escaped but after a chase of a half hour or so, they caught it), and tons of fish. The typical Kenyan party includes tons of speeches, so I expect that we’ll hear at least 4 or 5… with Roy required to give at least one. Tomorrow we leave for Kisumu in the morning… and then we are off for states to begin work on next years project for the Luanda Community.
