What a workshop!


What an incredible day. I am exhausted. After a week of logistics, meetings, and lunches with mayors I finally got led my first worshop here and remembered why I came back to Africa. On a sweaty day at the Presbyterian Church hall they started to trickle in at 8:30. By 10:30 I had 34 finance office from as far away as Wum, engaged in lively debate. These people are so great, so open, so eager to learn. They want to know everything we are doing and want to debate everything. I was on my feet for 8 hours, drank 3 litres of water and totally loved the day. I am back tomorrow, Saturday for another session and then I monday go 5 hours into to hill country to lead two days of workshops in Kumbo.
