Events of Monday 17 Sept. ---Spent the day preparing for soy food preperation and planning general presentation from student. It seems somewhat difficult to push buttons to get things done but I suppose that is to be expected.
One general observation: I have been surprised by the amount of Non Governmental Organization(NGO) and government aid from various sources that is coming to Mozambique and other African nations. The program I am in is CNFA which is all from taxpayer funded USAID. Even saw a USAID SUV in Cuamba. So, a lot of people and governments are here trying to help in different ways. One would hope that there would be some self sufficiency come out of this.
The government here was colonial until about 35 years ago. The Portuguese(sp) left but that culture remains. Following the end of Colonialism there was a period of Marxist/Communist rule, which faded away after the civil war.
Now it is a republic but is considered corrupt.
