ANOTHER Quiet Day in Banga

Hello everyone, 

Its Kevin today as Tiffany is off in the field.

It is a very quiet Wednesday for me here in Banga because as I mentioned, Tiffany is off on an important trip into the field today.  Donors from the EU (European Union) are here to visit the projects they are funding.  These donors are very important and have the ability to end the current project simply by pulling their funding if they do not like what they see.  So, Tiffany along with her bossman Lamine, and a group from WFP will be courting these donors with a trip into the field, a few meetings and hopefully a nice dinner.  Alas, lowly Kevin is stuck at home to eat beans.  JK (kinda).  As I am sure most of you are just waking up, I have actually had a nice quiet day reading my book, keeping house and trying to not to sweat to death.  The donors definitely picked a nice day to go into the field.  I’m sure Tiffany must be sweltering, but don’t feel too bad for her as her Land Cruiser has AC.  Today has been hot but we have been fortunate to have rains during most nights making the mornings cool and it easy for me to stay in bed! 

That’s really all I have to say today.  I just wanted to say hello and hope everyone has a happy Remembrance Day.  Tiffany will give you a much more detailed account of her trip into the field very soon, maybe some pictures as well.  For anyone who does not know, she has put up some pictures on her Facebook account for your viewing pleasure.  There are only about 12 because it takes so long to upload, but there are some good ones.  I believe you can also see the pictures through my account as I am tagged in several.

Until next time,

Kevin

P.S. Thanks everyone who has been emailing us.  We appreciate hearing from so many friends back home.

P.P.S. We hope to visit some natural waterfalls this weekend.  We will let you know how that goes if we can get up there.
