Community Health Committee Meeting

Hard to believe that Milt and I have been here two weeks and Logan and Harley just one week - seems like several weeks to all of us ! One thing to mention is that we have had no rain now for a week. It gets very hot during the day - probably 32-35C - and the clouds build up but then they just move on without any rainfall. This morning we went back to Kapiri to check on our material order - all under control and going well.

In the afternoon we had a meeting with the Community Health Committee for a few hours to discuss the many issues relative to health care in the area and to visit the site of the new health centre. There is so much that needs to be done - it is going to be a huge part of our overall project.

Saturday we took it easy in the morning reading and catching up on journals and other paperwork. After lunch we went to Kapiri to do another follow-up on our materials order as there were a couple of minor problems. Later in the afternoon we went for a long walk through an area of the community we had not been in yet and during which we came across another two wells which also have problems.
