the long trip. After a much needed nap, we met Angela (Angela Gondwe
Malik - Director for Kondwa Project) and went for a great meal at a
local Indian restaurant.
Today was a very full day: 8:00am Catholic Mass at the local church,
shrewd negotiation in the local market, and a very interesting
community meeting that Angela brought us to. The chairman of the
community organization (a former Air Force general, that they simply
call "The General") ran the most disciplined meeting I have ever
seen. I was able to get a good sense for the people and the community.
Tomorrow we visit Kondwa for the first time. Tuesday our plan is to
walk through NG'ombe with someone from the Home-Based care group to
meet the people of NG'ombe. Wednesday the plan is to visit the Kondwa
Garden (a small farm that supplies food and revenue for the Centre),
as well as the proposed site for a new school.
