At last the wind has dropped and the sand has stopped flying
around. We can clean the house and it
may stay clean for longer than a few hours!!
Another trip to the bank this morning as we need timber for
the pillars, nails and of course more cement.
Kebba and I sorted out the money and then Steve took him to Nemasu with
Sait and Cham part of the building team.
Large bins for water at the school which we bought yesterday were delivered and then
Steve went on to Naata with the rest of the cleaning materials which I could
not source in the market. He was hoping
to conclude his meeting with Mr Jallow, but unfortunately he had been called to
a meeting at his afternoon school.
Momodou was back and the toothache seems to have been cured with local
medicine.
Meanwhile I was in the storeroom as we have been promised a
truck today to take text books and reading books to region 6, Basse, which
doesn’t often get supplies. I finished sorting the boxes and returned
home. In the middle of the afternoon we
got a surprise visitor, Mr Touray, an old friend who was a teacher at Minte
Kunda, then deputy head; then head at Nyofelleh school and now at Kampasa, a
school way up country on the south bank.
It was nice to see an old friend and we promised supplies for his school
which he will collect tomorrow with a friend with a truck! They left and shortly after we got a call to
say the truck for region 6 was on its way. Kebba and two other boys came to the storeroom leaving Steve at home. The boys helped me
by taking the designated goods outside the store to wait in the early evening, we
didn’t have long to wait. It arrived as
we were taking the items out of the storeroom.
Everything was loaded onto the large flatback truck, roped and off just
before dark. Back home for a welcome
meal.
