Good Developments

This picture gives some idea of the position and view of the site which will be our new campus.Not much of an idea it is true, it needs a visit, 4WD at present.
Two days ago we heard that a truckload of equipment for the Library, Donated by United Nations Environmental Project Library in Nairobi is on its way. Previously they gave us about 300 books so: Many thanks to UNEP for great support. In four days time we collect a gift of 10 Computers from the Chinese Government which will be invaluable as servers, Administrative systems and for staff. So again many thanks to those who are being so helpful and working so hard to make the University a success.

To our personal delight we will not need to invest in a tent for the rest of the Rainy Season. Most of the roads are surfaced with murram, a type of soil which sets hard when mixed with lime and which is surprisingly non slip when wet, however the road from the house to town had lost the murram during the odd grading and had been given a profile with very steep sides and very narrow top. The result was obvious even with 4WD the road was virtually impassible and when combined with floundering pedestrians, also trying to keep to the top, bicycles with passengers, trucks, borda-bordas and cars, some travelling sideways, it seemed safer to keep off. Murram is being prepared to resurface and reshape the road!!!! The alternative road has been discovered by too many and is becoming a menace especially on the steepest part where someone covered the road with earth from their new driveway.


even elephants have itches.
