We are still struggling to grasp the intricacies of the Rwandan bureaucracy. However there was no driver for the Solace van to take us. Eventually Rob volunteered to drive the van after getting permission from John Gakwande we set off having to pause to fill up with fuel and wait for a receipt finally arriving an hour eleven minutes late so we are really getting the hang of African time!
Then a brief wait before being ushered in to the executive secretary. He was extremely friendly and accommodating really seemed a man of the people who wanted to help them.
We gave him a demonstration of the filter and seemed very knowledgeable about all aspects of hygiene and showed us the prizes his area had won.
So hopefully the filters will be distributed on Saturday now.
In the afternoon Jan and Rob worked on a revised budget as many things in the project have changed.
Mary and I did some study and then I discovered my blood sugar was sky high with all the enforced waiting so we went on a walk discovering a delightful new arts centre.
When we got back we discovered another of our friends Jonas, an impecunious student had turned up, who was very glad of a meal, and told us about his fathers new wheelchair which Rob had organised through an NGO who supplied such aids.
So tea and Tom Wright on Acts and so to bed .
