So far, so smooth

I love having Sylvie, our Goma-born, helper who washes the dishes, cleans, and most importantly... cooks! This dish is delicious, with pommes de terre, les carottes, les tomates.. with les haricots, les oignions, and une piece de pan au fromage. YUM. The weather here is also quite nice, between 65 and 80 degrees with a slight breeze from Lake Kivu. No onslaught of mosquitos makes it more bearable.



It seems as though I will be taking over the program dealing with vouchers towards food security. This link provides a synopsis of the discussion surrounding the particular topic: http://www.odihpn.org/report.asp?id=2679

Now, off to try out a gym!

NOTES: Goma is same time zone as Amsterdam, as well as 6 hours ahead of DC and 7 hours ahead of Texas. Example - 4 pm Goma is 10 am DC and 9 am Texas. Kinshasa = Goma - 1 hour = London. Current phone number is +243 (0)9983 43854 until about June 21, when I will take the outgoing Program Manager's SIM card to ensure continuity of the program.
