Cancellation

It was nice to be back in San Francisco after leaving Tanzania. It took a few days to get used to the damp and cold winter. The first night I went to bed with a leather jacket.

As scheduled, Moses and Naome went back to Mbulu to give more training last weekend. Moses gave his first training in Kainam in the morning. Their main concern was pest control. About 35 people turned out for the class. I was delighted.

The plan was to go to Haysali in the afternoon for a follow-up training on composting and form a group and constitution. They waited for hours only to find out that most villagers had gone to a funeral which usually is an important event that friends and acquaintances must attend. Because no one had a cell phone in the village that they couldn't inform us of such event.

The budget for the project is already very tight. Such last-minute cancelation only makes it even more challenging.
