Im alive and well. Though I appear to have forgotten my punctuation.Im writing from an internet cafe witha very strange keyboard. Not querty. But azerty. Never seen it before.
I have lots to catch upon and the light is fading so will have to come back tomorrow. But i wanted to let friends and family back home know i am well and landed safely.
It is very African... a complete change from London, as expected. There have been lots of discussions around the land we want tobuild the Abene Karantaa school on. But it seems we will lose the land because the land owner wants to have it built on now, otherwise he needs to sell it. As we haven,t raised enough money yet to pay for all the building costs we are going to lose the land which is a realshame. Diappointing, but we still have his support and he is keen for us to succeed.
I can hardly see the keys to write now.
We still hqve lots of options and I willsoon be talking to local teachers about possibilities of using exisiting structures for classes. There is a lot of support for the project in the village.
I have a mobile nu,ber here in Senegal. I,ve sent a couple of texts which don,t seemto have got though. But for those who want to text or call, hopefully we will be in touch soon.
I hope to write more tomorrow withmore light and a better keyboard to speed upmy typing. sorry it;s a bit dry, no exclamation marks.
My love to all back homeand big thanks to all who were with me at my 30th birthday party on Saturday; and to those who couldn,t make ittoo.
