We went out trying to find furniture yesterday and although we were not successful it gave us some ideas to use a local carpenter, who we have asked to come next week. The furniture in the stores is extremely expensive and we believe that by asking a local carpenter to make something for us we will give to a local trade.
We also visited the local market with Annie, our Liberian friend who worked with us in the review earlier in the year. She helped to explain all the unrecognisable vegetables such as sweet potato leaves, water plant, palm nuts and a whole variety of beans etc. There was a selection of fresh fish and also a number of smoked fish which I think we will try very soon. Everyone seemed very friendly and a little crowd of curious children followed us around saying "hello" at regular intervals.
We had supper with the Director of Samaritan’s Purse and his family. They are from Canada and have 2 lovely adopted boys from Haiti. We really look forward to working alongside them in the future.
