We're currently at home: I'm preparing for a Bible study tonight with Pastor Raoul's neighbour and Etienne's doing some calculations to work out how much cement and iron we need to buy for the next stage of the building.
Outside, there are small children running up and down the street shouting "Avion! Avion! Avion!" The faint buzz of a helicopter can be heard...
It's funny how unremarkable a plane or helicopter sounds to us, and yet here, the sight of something flying around high in the sky is cause for excitement. Such occurances are so rare that the kids don't know the difference between planes and helicopters !
Sunday is election day here so the President, Dr Yayi Boni, has flown in to drum up some more support for his party. There is a mass of people, including many students, gathering in the stadium near CEG1 to hear his words. People here love their politics!!
