Monday and Tuesday: I was involved in doing customer care training for the operations staff. So far my free mornings seem to be filling up.

I have a problem with my balcony project for the flats because the facilities manager here says that it is not wise to get involved. He says if I start building and something goes wrong I will be liable. Anyway the whole building is illegal and the families shouldn't really be living there. Pray for wisdom for the way forward, how to help everyone concerned.


Wednesday:
One happy piece of news this week. One of our engineers is a refugee from Sudan and hasn't seen his family in over 18 years, presuming they were dead. Anyway, this week Daniel had a call from the program manager in Sudan to say that Tartisio's father and brother had turned up at MAF Sudan in Juba and were looking for him. It turns out that both his parents and a brother are still alive.

Wednesday night Caleb threw up all night and into the morning. He had the day off school, but his illness didn't interfere with his latest obsession of riding his bike. He had to keep taking breaks to lie on the sofa.

Thursday: Daniel had a business lunch with 3 of the other charities in Dodoma, to discuss a united front on the tax issues he is dealing with.

I got involved in another situation with a family of 5. Both parents have died of AIDS leaving a 17, 14, 11, 10 and 5 year old children. It is possible that all the children have AIDS too. they did have somewhere to live but now they are being evicted. Anyway I an trying to find out the whole story and then see if I can help them.

Friday: We were told that our Programme Manager will be Acting as Programme Manager in Kenya for a couple of weeks. That means that Daniel will be the Programme Manager here again (although next week Daniel is in Kenya himself for some courses, so someone else will be holding the reins in the interim).
