Things have been moving along, slowly but I have come to expect that in Zimbabwe but it’s still hard for me as I am a planner and want to be effective and efficient but I am learning. First off, I’ve been busy on site, planning the building and finding the most effective and environmental way to build. I went to the site today to find out that City Council has now put in pegs of where they want the property lines to be, SO I had to do new measurements and have to adjust the plans. I went to Harare this past weekend and one of my objectives was to visit an NGO called Turn on the Tap, which helps communities with clean water using natural filtration. I was also able to get international police clearance so I can take my car across borders, which means I am able to visit 2 other projects using similar technology in South Africa and Zambia. I also was able to have a little fun and went and saw a live production of Agatha Christies “Mousetrap”. I was really impressed, it was well done and lots of fun. I learned lots of facts about this play including: it’s the longest running play of all time 58 years), it was a birthday present from Agatha to her grandson (lucky guy never had to get a job), as long as the play runs there isn’t allowed to be a film adaptation (it may be a while), the rule of the play is that you are not allowed to tell anyone who the murderer is after you have seen the play (that just makes sense). I also went to the monthly AIDS clinic in one of the high-density areas and I was asked to take pictures of which I took 130 of them. Power and water have been particularly poor the last week, however I did have some today, which meant I was able to do laundry, shower AND cook. The best news I have is I was able to talk to my mum, dad, Meghann and Richard on video skype for the first time since I have been back. We talked for an hour and a half. I was getting ready for bed and they were just getting up. It was nice to see their faces and not worry about the satellite time delay or the cost of calling. I went to the Bronte Hotel where there is a Wi-Fi hot spot.
