Lunch

Another week has come and gone and we seem to be making headway with setting up businesses for some very unfortunate people who just need a bit of a hand to get started.

Yesterday I *met The Chicken Man. Nice guy. For the cost of his transport and a beer we arranged to meet and he shared a lot of what he knows about the chicken business. Interesting stuff.... only if you want to start a chicken business. The Chicken man has also agreed to give the ladies I am helping a lecture on chicken husbandry and to visit them on a regular basis to check everything is ok and help them out with any chicken related issues.

It really restores your faith in humanity when somebody like The Chicken Man who already does so much in a local orphanage, and has so little, is willing to give even more of himself without asking for anything in return. Life is tough here for the locals but there are still a lot of people willing to share what they can.

Very little goes to waste in this part of the world and that includes the food and especially the valuable meat resources. On Friday I discovered exactly what I have been having for lunch in the local restaurant for the last couple of week and bitterly regret finding out. It's not that I am surprised to learn brains, eyes, tongues etc., etc. are a staple ingredient in the dishes I consume, it's just I would rather not know!

*Of course he works on African Time and I waited for the best part of 3 hours for him to turn up!
