Yesterday morning we woke up to this distant haze. It almost looked like fog on the horizon. Someone explained to me that there are three seasons here - wet, hot, and dusty. Now I am noticing a fine layer of dust covering everything. What is odd is that there is no wind.
Yesterday was my last day in the village I was working in. Today we are headed to a new village most of us haven't seen to site a landfill. This new village is a long way away and could take 3 to 4 hours to get to. We don't know and estimates given by the people helping us are usually off pretty significantly.
Everyone who had left earlier in the week came back last night so it was nice to see everyone again. Work in that far village is underway and should wrap up in two weeks.
We are expecting some new arrivals this coming week. Whenever someone new arrives it is like Christmas because they bring us new supplies.
Others are staying in the compound to finish writing the report for the first village which was done in July and August. The results of the remediation work are good in that levels are reduced but some compounds resumed ore processing after we left.
