Bishop for breakfast

Basil and Rob watching the technician bending pipes 

We had breakfast with the bishop this morning to discuss water harvesting projects. Then he had to go back to Kigali and then Uganda for a wedding and a funeral.  Afterwards Rob and Ian went into town to cash some cheques in the bank. Today Rob’s water engineer was doing some alterations and repairs to the water harvesting system at Jill Barham. Rob and I were supervising. Fascinating to see them bending pipes with a twig fire and soldering the tanks with a hot iron.

The girls went up to the district education office to give a presentation to teachers of Mary O’s project. This went off successfully then back to the guest house for supper.

Felix and Yvonne came for dinner with Pastor Eugene who does a wonderful work with the down and outs and prostitutes in the town. He has a couple of projects one teaching tailoring and running a shop and a project with street cleaners they have got the contract for all the street cleaning in the time and he keeps them off the street and into a proper paid job. All was very proper until Peter started  drumming on the table then the dancing started and was a wonderful evening of African drumming and dancing.

Then some final speeches thanking us for the meal and we walked them a few hundred yards on their journey home which is the Rwandan custom and exhausted into bed.
