April 6th
Meetings at the camp.
We are starting to plan a big workshop for next week that is teaching project management for some of the more advanced coaches. We hope these people are going to be able to continue the project after we leave. We found out today that the project will not end in July as expected, but that we will be staying here until January. Today, I also met a couple of Peace Corps volunteers, Mark and Peacock, who live in the surrounding villages. They are here to help local farmers set up fish farms in the villages. It was interesting to hear their stories as they have been living in the northern province for almost two years and they’ve helped dozens of farmers with fishing. They also live in small huts in tiny villages with no electricity and only a bike for transport! Crazy guys!!
I'll be going to Kasama, the closest big city, with the UN tomorrow to stock up on supplies and post these blogs. I'll be there till Sat.
