Rest Day

Today it is very hot here in Bulima and I am suffering a little bit after a long walk up to the cellphone towers and along some farms in town, I even did a 30m run up the hill without to much trouble from my knees which is a good sign for me meaning that my knees are at last beginning to recover. I am hoping to start downloading the library data base soon, I am just awaiting final confirmation from the AIM leader who is currently on home assignment in the US. I have spoken to 1 or 2 off the lecturers and they are quite happy with it, the Internet is showing signs of recovery and that will play an important role in the job that lies ahead as it will be much easier for me to download the books information on to the system.

There are not many students around in the library as the college only has about 40+ students. Most if not all of them also work for the college either in the library the farms or at some off the teachers homes, they all also have to play in role in keeping the college grounds clean and everyone has an assigned role to play, most off the students live on the grounds, some are married with kids and they live off campus. Tuesdays and Fridays are Bank days when the students get paid for the work they did during that time, this can take anything from 2 Hours to 4 hours to finish the bank, my host came home at about 20h45 on Tuesday as he is in charge whiles the team leader is away.

Today the library was cleaned and I am quite happy about that as I have set out certain goals for the library Assistants that needs to be met whiles' I am here. I believe that this will take more than 3 months to finish and I would like to see the job through to completion even if I have to come back later in the year to finish the assignment, please commit this to pray as I go about my job, if you want to get involved in this either financially or with pray please feel free to contact me houties@live.com or on +255682060971, my work permit expires on the 09/02 and I still need to have it renewed, hopefully for free.
