after getting the equipment for the science lab and the pots for all the beans, AB (big guy at CBW) got a call from FAO announcing that they would be happy to provide us with 350 chickens and their feed/medication for the next 6 months!
CBW used to run a poultry project as another means of generating income independent of volunteers. sadly, the last batch of chickens got some terrible chicken disease and had to be killed... the funds hadn't been around to replace them all but now, we should have a new batch in the next few days!
the staff at CBW was beyond excited about the day and we went out to celebrate... i seem to have burned myself out though and am now stuck in bed today with some delightful african sickness. it was only a matter of time i guess... luckily i have an internet cord that stretches to my bed and no end of movies, thanks to the 70 in 1 dvds you can buy on the streets.
