Took a day off from the field work yesterday and just relaxed and worked in our office/compound. It was nice to have a break and I got lots of busy stuff done.
As for the other hard core folks who didn't need a break (I think it is age related...) they were able to make a lot of progress on finishing up the mapping of the next village to start with remediation. We have a strong group of managers and supervisors on the two villages in active remediation so we are able to utilize those folks to get rolling on the next village which should start on Monday or Tuesday.
This next village is near one of the mine locations with high lead content and most of the compounds are over 5000ppm. One shot yesterday was 50000ppm. Remediation is expected to take five weeks.
The other two villages that are finishing up are tense but good. Things are changing as we go and many adjustments have ready been made so things are actually going quite smoothly.
With the three new arrivals yesterday we are up to twelve volunteers working over here. The compound is only set up for ten but we can expand.
I am feeling the end of the trip looming and am disappointed about that. That was one drawback to the quiet time yesterday so today will be back to the grind in a good way. Plus I get to "train" one of the new guys.
