I took the day off again from going to villages with the students. I've really wearied of that routine, having little to do while there, and it being so hot. Ruth arranged for a colleague to come by to talk with me about the dream of a life skills center. His name is Yav. He had done some quick calculations for the project based on the ideas that Ruth had shared with him. The cost was estimated at $300,000. We talked about the importance of designing the project in phases, and having clear projections about what the cost of maintaining each phase would be, and what the revenue stream would be for each phase. In subsequent thinking the dream has fully expanded so that the whole project will be far more expensive than that – and the whole world in a recession. Hmmm.
The Linfield staff visited Kake, another village, to deliver nets. It's not far from Souza. They were extremely impressed with this neat and trim little village and its leadership.
