We finally finished all the buying for hospital and ourselves and left in the Methodist Mission Plane ably flown by Gaston and arrived safely at Kisenge a mining town boasting an airstrip...the nearest airstrip to Katoka.
The road was very bad but we arrived safely at Katoka and Jonathan was given a very warm welcome in true Katoka tradition. We didn't give him much time to relax but he was plunged into language learning and helping out in the pharmacy. The young folk didn't take long to learn he likes kicking a football around so the noise levels around the house increase in the late afternoon when the temperature is more accomodating to rushing around madly!!
I was able to cheer up quite a few people on Friday past. We have a banking system for our workers and some others in the area and this time it was the turn of the folk who were saving up to put roofing iron sheets on their houses. I was buying for the 2ndry school building project and so purchased some extra for all those who had been saving up....they were so pleased and probably it will now be an incentive to others to save again. Pictures do not seem to want to upload tonight so I will post this pictureless and try again next time.
