Benj's Visit

01/25/08

Last night Benjamin Harding, aka Peni, from our Group 78 stayed overnight. He was in the process of writing two huge proposals on the Savaii Peace Corps office’s computer for his village on the remote western end of Savaii, Nieafu-tai. One proposal to the United Nations Development Fund is for thirty-five water tanks for his village where the water supply is scarce and brackish. The other is to the European Union for a primary school fence. The deadline is January 31st. This morning he returned in a violent rainstorm to the office to complete the proposals. I just thought you might like to know what some other Peace Corps on Savaii are doing.
