It’s Sunday. At 6am the noise started. Someone was preaching through the loudspeakers quite close here and all of this plus the songs weren’t too silent :)

Merle couldn’t sleep the whole night because of the malaria prophylaxis medicine.

We were supposed to go and visit our school’s secretary but we were hoping to get some stuff sorted before that. We had just started our breakfast when her husband knocked on the door. So we finished breakfast quickly and went with him. They live in the opposite side of the town, on the slope of the mountain.

They live in the best area of city, it’s quiet there and they don’t have too many neighbours. The air is much clearer and cooler. The shame is that they only have 200sqm of land. It’s the government policy not to give out more land. They give you a bigger piece of land only for an investment.

Today I realized that some people do think of us as walking banks. So many have asked outright for money, telling us about their condition and asking for our support. Today we were asked to fund the building of a church. We explained that even though we do get payed 10x more than, we also have to pay 10x in the shops.
