Well we've arrived safe. Virtually no sleep and a long journey, and Amandas lost contact lens (apparantly a regular occurrence) - found by yours truly and Amanda thinks its a miracle! - but here we are.

So far we've been ensconced in a nice guest house, had a shower and met the VAD team, a dedicated and friendly group of folk who are anxious to share with us all their good work: clean water sources, sanitation, wells and waterjars, community water projects and school latrine systems etc. . We set off tomorrow to see the projects and we're looking forward to that. But for now something to eat and a good nights sleep. See you tomorrow...
