In February I spent 17 days in the southern province of Katanga. FH has two field sites there: one in Kalemie and one in Moba. While in Kalemie I again stayed at the MONUC base. Always an interesting adventure although enjoyable as it is air conditioned. I always meet interesting characters when I stay there. This year it was 2 French Canadian firefighters and a jolly Italian. I was also able to use my 10 years restaurant experience to educate the Welfare Club (MONUC restaurant) on tipping and good service.
It was a very productive 17 days. I was able to finish a staffing plan for out two new grants there as well as work with the staff on the requirements for our monthly cash flows. I also visited the site in Moba for the first time. Moba is extremely beautiful and much cooler than Kalemie. It is also a much smaller, more village like community. And it rained the entire time I was there...also a plus for me.
