survey time

I wanted to write so much about Mozambican Women's day, the flooding, my most recent visit to the community in the forest and so much more, but time has been limited.

Tomorrow morning I'm heading back to the community. I'll be driving my motorcycle with a backpack of essentials, trailing the car of my partner organization carrying 2 bicycles, 2 research assistants, 1 empregada (cook), food and supplies for our group for 2 weeks, 100 survey packets, dishes and cooking supplies, over 200 liters of drinking water, mosquito nets, and other items. No one sells tents in Quelimane, so I am renting some space in houses near mine to accommodate the research assistants. The car will drop these people and items off and will hopefully pick us up at the end.

This is alot of logistics and feels like a lot of responsibility. I'm hoping all goes smoothely. Have a good 2 weeks or so!!
