Saturday.
I went to Nganza at 3 to observe the course. Adam wasn’t there, John was just starting to get out the equipment. It seems that Adam hadn’t been at the meeting he had scheduled for 11:00 yesterday either, because of a school meeting or something. Adam never did get there to help present the course.
John was pretty relaxed about setting up for the course. A few girls wandered in. It seems there was a sporting event that many of the girls had gone to, and a religious event that claimed others. Finally some 14 girls were there, of the supposed 40 in the course, and John suggested that we have the course tomorrow instead of today.
I’m not surprised that other things come up on the weekend. . That is why there aren’t any formal school courses then.A better time needs to be established that has some meaning But Adam’s absence is a problem for me. It seems that he has a brother or something who is sick. OK. But he has now missed 3 consecutive meetings that HE set the time for, and this does not work for me, American that I am. I don’t think it should work for a Tanzanian either.
After leaving Nganza I walked over to Adam’s home. There were a lot of people there, who said that he had gone downtown, to the Hospital.
I think Hodie and I need to walk up the hill tonight to watch the sunset.
