African effects.

Helou. I´m sorry that I have been out for day or two. I have had couple very rough nights. Been feeling sick for some reason. Maybe the weather, food or something else, well today much better.
We came to the mall before heading to the office. I have managed to do some computer work with GLM computers and it was about time; they are full of viruses :D.
Here´s some review about recent days:

30.11 Chibobo -> Lusaka

Last morning in Chibobo was kind of same than others. It was nice to go back "home". In my last morning I had one more visit, to see one fund raising chairperson. Her name is Royce and she is leading the hammer mill project. Like I said, with hammer mill villagers can produce maize flour (millie meal) to make food like nshima. Royce said, the new hammer mill have helped them a lot financially and community wise. With income from hammer mill, they could by pigs and food supplies for the villagers. Royce were extremely happy, that GLM have helped them to get that hammer mill and without Green Village project, would not be possible. Boyd was very gratefull, for the work we have been doind and courages us to continue.
That really made an impact to me and I give the greetings to team in Finland too.

We left around 9.30am after saying goodbye (to basicly everybody many times). Drive back to from Chibobo took around five hours thourgh Kapiri Mposhi, Kabwe and Chibombo. Views are just spetaculars and listening African music from the radio, you really feel the vibes.
Sunday evening I spended just resting and reading. Monday I would start my work at GLM office.

1.12 Lusaka

First of December, not only starting of Christmas time, but also World AIDS Day. Here you can not miss it. As you know in Africa, AIDS is an issue and it was all over the news, shopping malls and the streets. There were big events, talk shows and concerts.
Today I worked at GLM office with computer issues. My first job was to install anti-virus softwares and clean their computers from viruses. I think I sweeped around 120 viruses from five computers and 6 memory sticks. GLM office is very small and there is HOT. No air conditioning and I started to feel a bit sick there. When I got back to Emmannuel´s place I felt so sick, that I went to bed after 7pm, could not even eat. I got good rest though and we planned with Clive to get few beers on Tuesday.
