| Today began with a visit to Savani's, where I picked up an order of books for the primary school. Samuel and Martin helped me move the boxes of books to the car... and they asked after the progress of the secondary school. I've been buying books from them for years now, so even they are tracking the progress of our work. Maybe one of these days they'll come out and see for themselves! |
 |
| Yesterday we decided not to go out to Cura because of heavy rains, so we were happy that today had sunnier weather for our book delivery. At least for a while. First, this screw punctured one of our tires... |
 |
| And then another tire went flat, just to make sure we were truly humbled. Gilbert and I had a laugh or two in the middle of the road, as he jacked up the car, removed the two tires, propped the whole thing up with stones from the side of the road, and headed back into town to get the tires patched. Oh, and the skies opened up and the rain turned the road to sticky, slippery, red muck too boot. It was an adventure! |
 |
| But neither the punctures nor the rain nor the thick mud could stop us from delivering our precious cargo... and the teachers were THRILLED. The biggest hit was the new First Aid Kit! |
 |
| Even the Class Eight kids came over to celebrate the arrival of the books, which we kept under cover, of course, to protect them from the rain. Another great day! |
