Again, being written on Saturday, so some things have escaped me.
Moring was attempts at work at St Francis school. Again, difficulties with not being able to pin down teachers and students. Some more photos were taken and Brother Tony was given a stick with the best ones selected by Bill. Doug double checked the 11 old computers at the St Francis lab, and set one up with a printer.
We met Pascal and Steve (?) from a Franciscan volunteer group. They are young Austrians volunteering in Zambia for a year rather than do compulsory military service. They are computer guys, and are trying to help Brother Tony and St Francis setup more newer computers, and a library checkout computer. I showed them what was in place, and we discussed with Br. Tony and headmaster Barry what might be done in the short and long term. They hope to bring a computer for checking in/out library books. They have had some experience with Zambian school libraries, and the differences in the point of view on how libraries are to be used, so hopefully they will meet the school's needs.
Evening brought our last supper, and it was a big gang around the tables. We got the two priest students from Ghana to eat with us, as well as the visiting Father Werner and the Austrians. After supper we had discussions and good byes which was nice but bitter-sweet.
