Making headway.
Over the last few days, we have been able to fix a number of the computers in the lab, bringing the number available to the students from 4 up to 9, and Larry Bona and I think that we will be able to fix one more this morning. We paid for the new internet HF radio from Arusha Node Marie, and now are going to schedule the technician to come up. We were able to show Lembras how to open up the computers and poke around. He was swapping components and hard-drives with us as we cannibalized broken computers to make working ones. . .a bit of technology organ donation.
Last night we went into Arusha and had dinner at Khan's BBQ place, which is an auto parts store during the day. It was all cooked on the street over charcoal grills, and we sat at tables put onto the sidewalk. . .it was fantastic. It was in the muslim area of Arusha, and during our meal, the evening prayer was going on. I thought it was the coolest thing. It reminded me of eating incredible street food in Mexico in the small towns.
Everyone has been busy, from building shelving for the library, to organizing and covering books, teaching classes, helping teachers, working on the sponsorships, and fixing computers in the lab.
