Monday 5th May- Sorting staff files

Martha and I went out to Project Comfort and Amaudo 2 to check over staff files and make sure that all the necessary documents are all present and signed.

It was nice to see the Project Comfort staff again. They were full of jokes and jest. I never imagined that a personal details form could cause so much head ache

Who is my next of kin?
=>Your mother or your farther
But my mummy is old.
=>What does that matter? She is still your next of kin. If you were hurt would you not want her to be the first to know?
Errrmmmmmmmmmmmm……
=>Ok, put your brother/ sister. But see there is another space for calling another person


Other person to contact…..can that be my girlfriend?
=Sure, why not?
Ok then, write your number here
=> (laughs) no.
Why?
=> Because I am not your girlfriend and if they call me in England then there is nothing I can do for you?

In Amaudo 2 Rev David was paying his PC boys to clear trees from the edge of the farm land because of a government promise to build a school in Ntkalako for physically and mentally disabled children. The road down to Amaudo 2 is pretty horrific at the moment and it’s a pretty remote place so it will be a residential school. Boarding school is pretty common over here. Having the school there will be good because they will have a playground and lots more friends for the residents and the people attending Wonderful School. It was a hot day so we dropped past Andrews’s house and collected some palm wine. Andrew is a taper and always loves to welcome visitors to his home and cares very fine. He is a good host and I felt bad for not going to see him again after the first visit.
