Our last trip to Mandie went well, but with a lot of adventures. We left Chimoio on Wednesday the 26th. Moriane wasn’t feeling well when we left and by the time we went to bed in Mandie, he wasn’t feeling well at all. At 10 PM Tony and Mick (pronounced Mickey) rushed Moriane back to Chimoio (arriving at 3 AM). Joél and I remained in Mandie with all the stuff. It was fine—we took the day to clean up plates and organizing our kitchen stuff. The only gliche was that they left in such a rush, that we didn’t have any matches, silverware or pans for cooking, so all we ate was bread! So, Mick and Tony returned around supper on Thursday and on Friday, we went to all the four sand dam communities, dropping off plastic drums for water storage and letting them know that a delegation of MCC higher ups was coming. On our way back to our campsite, our oil filter got punctured so at sundown, we carried all our bags 4-5 KM back to Mandie. We were stranded in Mandie for the next three days until the MCC delegation arrived with a new filter. We lazed around in the sun, read, waded in the Luenha river, and waited for our filter. The MCC delegation arrived at 3 PM and we set off to fix the car and off to the communities. We visited 4 communities in one day and talked with the leaders and visited with them about the progress of their sand dams. It was a good trip—good to see other MCCers, good to show the progress, good for the communities to show what they are doing. On the way home, one of the cars had a tire blow out, which only added to the adventure of the trip.
