Equipping Central Africans to take over [Guest post--Tim Harley]

Equipping men to mix cement
Tuesday, October 18 in the CAR

Today was another day at work.  We continued work on setting posts for the barn, the African staff mixed cement by hand on the ground.  One of our goals is to teach the Africans so it was exciting to see them catching on to how to use the transit and set the posts and make them perfectly level.  We just stepped back and let them do it.  It is also great to see our guys bridging the language barrier teaching them with hand signals and also laughing at each other.  We look forward to working with them tomorrow.  Rick and Bruce continued working making adjustments on the tractor and getting the equipment ready to go to the fields.  We did a little sight seeing at the end of the day and enjoyed sodas sitting down by the river.

More tomorrow.
