Friday 1st February 2013

More rain throughout the last night.  The vegetables, flowers and fruit in the garden are doing well, but the washing left on the line overnight looks in a very sorry state.

Dr Mele and John went to ISTM College as usual. John spent the morning at the old campus with Christian trying to find a way to import data from Excel into the college “Sage” accounting programme, but with no success. At lunch time Moses, who was Nancy & Philip’s handyman when they used to maintain a household here and is now driver for ISTM, took John to the new Wood Campus and on the way picked up Janice from “home”. 

Thanksgiving meal!

The ISTM admin staff had arranged a special service of thanksgiving to show their gratitude for their work and gifts to the college. For example, the solar panel on the roof of the new and as yet only building on the new Wood Campus has meant that there has been power all and every day for operating the computers and the internet link.

This short service was followed by a Congolese meal for all concerned (some 15 people) which had been prepared by the ladies on the staff.
