The First Week in Kinshasa

Colette arrived safe and enthusiastic in Kinshasa. Here is her first email:

Greetings from boiling hot Kinshasa.

Here are some photos of the trip. I spent yesterday and today shopping. I am almost done. We bought everything for environment and gardening projects and all teacher’s kits and supplies for ABCD training. Meantime, the printer copier arrived from France and my mother went to the shipping agency to collect it (see photo of printer being carried on the head). It is very hot. Tomorrow I got to go out again to buy batteries and solar panels needed for solar energy training. Both Burkina Faso and Uganda technicians will arrive on Friday. We will do minor shopping and pack cars to leave on Saturday morning. All is going well.

This is the 30th Communiqué. The intentions of the Communiqué are to keep our community informed of the great progress being done in Kandale. Thank you for your generous donations and support. Matondo Mingi !!! (Thanks a lot!!!). We wish Colette great success on the next arduous leg of her journey.
