Supervising the Rebuilding

One of our day guards, Amani, watching the workmen, doing his job.
The night the wall fell down, when it was open to the street,
all four guards were on duty. Just in case.

Rebuilding

It begins with a temporary wall...
and then we wait to see what happens next!

The Fallen Wall

Really, what more needs to be said?

:)

So maybe not such a good day...

Well, after I posted yesterday I got a text that our compound wall had fallen down due to heavy rains!

I was thinking a few bricks

No, the entire street-side wall fell down!! It's like Jericho revisited.

:)

Pictures coming this afternoon...

It's a good day.

It's like Christmas in October! Our container finally cleared customs and we have supplies. Every year, HOPAC orders supplies from the UK that cannot be bought in Tanzania. Every year, we wait on the arrival of the container until the middle of Term 1. This year, the container was in Dar es Salaam, off the ship even before school started - but it just cleared customs last week.

Oh well! There are so many boxes of papers, books, supplies and other wonderful teaching things! And there were lockers for secondary school, noodles for the pool :) and other fun things. The container was unloaded in the Music room which is right next to my office so all day today I've watched boxes being unloaded and distributed around the school.

It's been a good day.

...for more than one reason actually. It's raining! Hasn't let up since about 7 this morning and it's now 2. Ahh...bliss.
