Ah say!!! We don finish water project for Mbo Barombi village. Wednesday all the top officials for this division and Kumba were in the village for the Inauguration ceremony. It was a great day complete with traditional dances and gala night after wards...plenty of white stuff. ..I gave my speech in pidgin and it went vewry well...I will post it on here when I get the chance, but now I am back in Kumba for the weekend. It was a very sad thing to leave the village today and I cannot even begin to explain how much we have come together with some of the people in that village...the Area Boys in particular are like brothers to me and today was a very sad day...anyhow we have but 3 more days in Cameroon to be spent in Kumba then we leave the Motherland...sad but true...
Water continues to flow from the taps and the people are very happy. I dashed (gave) out all of the boots and clothes I collected and managed to carry to Cameroon and even the set of jerseys from Central Highschool. I took one picture with the guys so I am sure they will be happy to have it when I return home. THey gave me two sets of jersrys so the other one will go to my association here, Clicks. They have made large steps forward in the area of service by cleaning up the hostipal in Kumba twice and also working to again visit the same orphanage (a relatively new concept here in Kumba because of the community-nature of the people to take care of eachothers children)/ Im pretty happy with that..
We made one arrange ment to meet up with the Area Boys at the lakeside Monday morning...they are bringing whitestuff to send us off and we are bringing more cement for the filters so they can continue to make them after we go...Try to enjoy KUmba tonight but I am very tired after the Gala night last night and early morning to move out of the schoolhouse today...I swear it was lik moving out of college after freshman year.
We met with the Water Management Committee today to essentially hand everything over to them and it went very well. They set a date and time for meetings and seem to be very serious at this time...Good to know...Anyhow Im outta here check uyall in the states in a few days...
