January 2007

The Big Rains have come at last ! It should rain now until March to make sure of a good harvest. If the rains don’t last there won’t be enough harvest to get people through to next year and we will need to do food relief in Autumn 07.

Mud everywhere ! The roads are so bad we have to wait until 11 hrs before the sun has baked them hard enough to drive on or we would get bogged down in the soft bits even with a 4 wheel drive Toyota truck.
