Times have been a bit tough back home. This past October I lost two uncles and in December an aunt. On Easter weekend my sister phoned saying that my grandmother wasn't doing well. So, Tristan and I have decided to go home for a month to spend time with our family. I really miss them and I can't wait to see them.
I'm writing from the Accra Airport in Ghana. We wanted to get here early so we left Kpalime at 7 am. We made it to the airport in plenty of time alright. . . we've been sitting here for about six hours and have another eight before our flight departs for New York. We will be home in two days!!! Wow, I'm tired just thinking about it.
I hope everyone is doing well. A big thanks to those who read my blog. Please, keep me updated with what you're doing as well. Miss you! NCM
Work with my coffee cooperative has been on hold for the past month due to tax issues on behalf of the supermarkets here in Togo. We are working things out and expect to be up and selling in no time. In the meantime, I'm gathering information on money management skills for members of the microfinance I've been workign with. I start classes in April and I'm a bit nervous. Any resources you can provide would be appreciated. The microfinance would like to educate members about money so that they will repay their loans on time, which is apparently a big problem here in Togo. Tristan and I have been away from village for almost two weeks for training and travel. I'm eager to get back to clean, of course, the mounds of dust that have collected since our departure. We plan to celebrate Good Friday in the company of other volunteers. Happy Easter to everyone!
