All is well with me in Congo, here in the gap between Election Day and Results Day, it’s just another day. So far it’s been a pretty good one. After some wrangling with and by the UN office of Humanitarian Affairs, I am scheduled to fly to Kinshasa tomorrow to meet with my colleagues there, have my visa renewed, and hopefully get a haircut. I’m trying to get around to sending out an update e-mail which I will post here. If you happen to read this blog and you’d like to get my update e-mail, feel free to contact me here and I will add you to the list.
In the meantime, here are some recent photographs:
At left, a woman in one of our community banks is full of contagious joy. At right, our accountant Sylvain and his wife who stopped by the office recently. They are expecting their third child. He’s hoping for twins, she’s not.
At left, Loan Officer Mama Ruth with one of the calculators donated by my friends. At right, President Kabila crossed the river to campaign on the other side and many local fishermen and canoe taximen held a rally on the water to accompany him.
