That's how long it took Simon Mtuy to RUN up AND down Kili. He holds the record. To day I finally met and had a meeting with Simon. I am trying to convince him to hire some of the porters we trained in the Fall. He was so excited about what we did and the philosophy behind it....it was thrilling. He loved the idea of women porters....that these were kids that were orphaned because of HIV/AIDS....he lost his brother to the disease. The thing that struck me the most was just his physical awesomeness....tall lanky confident and compassionate. It felt like being in the presence of greatness...
The other exciting thing that happened is we now are the proud parents of 7 healthy 3 week old baby rabbits. Our (smart) gardener decided not to tell us until they grew a bit...but boy are they cute. We are trying to apply all the things we have learned through our other escapades with animals this year...now i think we will get it right....and they will make beautiful parting gifts to all Nell and Pearl's friends....
Good Africa day.....stimulating and exciting!
Peace,
Sarah
