Belated Moka

While we were at the Wildlife Refuge (http://www.bioko.org/ecotourism/center.asp) in Moka last month, a group of oil and service company workers from Hess, Slumberger, FMC and some other companies fixed a bunch of things on the property. Some of them live in Luba and some in Malabo. They donated many different items like paint, cement, water tanks and the wood that is used to pack some of the shipments they receive.

They also donated their labor and brought chicken, burgers, sausages, buns, veggies and refreshments for lunch. Everyone helped out with painting.

Some brave souls, TS and MW, helped out mixing cement for the men inside fixing door frames

There were also some men who put a drop ceiling in the education building



There were even some volunteers to fix the satellite internet connection.
We had a good time, worked hard and ate an immense amount of food.

We had so much leftover food that we had a party with the cooks, cleaning lady and trail cutters the next evening.

Long time no post!

Are you so busy having fun and thwarting the fun of the students that you don't have time to let the rest of us know what's been going on? (It is nice to see you in an occassional photo, thanks to the rest of the gang.) (Whose wedding was it?)

Have you heard from the cat and dog family? Shall we save you T' dinner leftovers? There is an 18 lb turkey in the frig and a 10 lb chippie--and there will only be 10 of us. H is already planning soup, soup, soup. (I'm thinking chippie snibbles, chippie in salads, chippie in eggs, chippie by itself, chippie with turkey sandwiches, chippie scones, and maybe a little chippie to share.) We'll be missing you, and thy bro.
