May 20, 2008

Today we held a meeting with the staff and reviewed some of the things in our business plan and talked about steps to implementing it. We have really enjoyed working with the staff here and hope that they are successful in the future as it will benefit the lives of many people in Mozambique.
After our meeting we went to the Care For Life facility to finish up the pump there with some of our potential entrepreneurs. It has been fun watching them develop and learn more. The ride home was particularly fun. We had to cram seven sweaty bodies into the car after a day of work. we piled into the car, which happened to be parked next to a chicken coup. The smell any one of those things was more than one could handle, but to have both the smelly bodies and the chicken smell was just too much. So Dave in all his brilliance and in an effort to not offend anyone decided to discretly do something about it... apply coconut scented, spray-on sunscreen. So we are not only packed INSIDE a car, but the sun was setting and there was Dave spraying on sunscreen. Needless to say, Dave got a few strange looks, but the smell in the car improved.
