Just come out of the second Planning Meeting. It was quite long, longer than 'd expected,but no one seemed to be in a hurry and a few arrived late. Every one who attended the first meeting a week ago came back- a great sign. Allexpect Diibril who was sadly attending his brother's funeral in Ziguinchor today.
What an experience. I found I had to hhave a complete re-think during the meeting, a change of tack and adapt to their style. A bit of a cultural difference in working methods, but we got there in the end and afterwards Miri assured me it wasn't a problem.
We identified issues and the team are going to go out this week and get more information on them. I'm just typing quickly now in the internet cafe and will writemore on it tomorrow when I'll be in Brikhama in Gambia with hopefully a cheaper and quicker internet connection. It is dark, although there is electricity in the place I can't see the keys very well!
Until tomorrow inshallah...

Hellooooo, just editing the minutes Shirley and I took at last Abene meeting here. Your Blog is great! Just a small constructive crit, some paragraphs are too long. Break them up into small bitesize bits cos that makes it easier for us to read. Apart from this though, its all sounding really interesting! Take care and keep up the good work. Will email you later with minutes, phone number etc. Rachx
