Will's first 30 days on the post are completed this weekend. This gives him flexibility to travel to more metropolitan areas. His plan is to be on line by Friday of this week and to post his own thoughts to his own blog. Stay tuned. Meanwhile he is remarkably integrated into his community. Reports his trees are growing but he has had to drape the mosquito netting over the trees to keep the lizards from devouring the leaves. This is the season to try to plant a garden so he has picked up the droppings from the animals on his plantation and is working the soil in an attempt to produce some sort of a crop. He has just finished reading "The Ugly American" and is deep in thought trying to figure something that could improve the standard of living for his community. He has his Dad reading about how to make charcoal from refuse in his village. Evidently most folks cook using charcoal and if his village people could produce the charcoal they could sell it and not have to depend on the rain ( that seldom comes ) for their lively hood. Because his role is to be neutral he does not have much to say about the election except that everyone came to his city to vote and then one man stood outside with the total vote written on a piece of paper for someone to come by and pick up.
Meanwhile Will reports letters (94 cents/letter or card ) and calls from the States keep him in balance....he thanks you and we thank you very much.
