October 2nd

It’s still the rainy season. But…. we do have umbrellas. Yesterday I spent some time with the ladies who are opening a beauty salon. Their land lady was very unhappy because they had men over on Sunday afternoon (their brothers I’m sure) and they were listing to music. I had the hardest time not laughing, they are just my kind of girls. Finally we agreed to make a small fence and to trust the girls to have good judgment. They really have all been married and through more than most of us can imagine. I told them the only thing I was angry about was that they didn’t invite me.

I met with the president of the Rotary club here and he was so understanding about NGOs in this country. Now I’m busy with the organizational work of putting things together after our accountant resigned.

One more important thing! The girls changed the name of their little dog from Honey to Cherie. I love it!
