Last Project Part 2 (Little Done, other stuff)

 So this day not much got done, I delivered more blocks in the morning.  So they finished the sides of the tank what is left is the top which they would have started on today but the reenforcing wire which is delivered by Dennis & his tractor was delay because he got a flat tire.  So tomorrow they start the top.

Where the crap exits!!!

But the other much more interesting items of the day was my going away party which was at the Town Council attended by about 25 people almost all I knew & worked with in my 2 years including officials of the FA (football association), SOS Children's Village, Town Council of course, AMICAALL, all listed the constructions/painting as huge marks of success.  Which since all said they wanted me to stay just proved to me that I am finishing on completely high success note, if I had done a year three I would have had to find something completely different to do in town.  Surprisingly, I wasn't very emotional.  But I still have week & half left til departure.





Then in the evening Sabelo & I went to the Anti Crime Police Awards where we both represented AMICAALL in accepting a certification of appreciation for our work with the Anti Crime Unit.   So a very fulfilling day.

    Don't know if my previous post made it ... but, anyway, a great way to finish 2 years of great work. So glad Mom and I were there to see some of the work and meet some of the folks who've worked so hard with you. You've made some dreams come true.
