I know I am British and so love to talk about the weather, but honestly there is such a lot of weather to talk about these days. This is the middle of the dry season but it does rain now and then. We had rain last night after dinner and it was so exciting I had to go outside and stand in it. Our neighbour was out looking at the spectacle as well....and he's French! It didnt last long and it didn't really cool things down at all but it was refreshing in a way.
Today it is VERY windy and there is so much dust in the air. All the poor chaps working out in the grounds here at the hotel are suffering with watery, stinging eyes. The expats who normally work at a table under a tree have retreated to their rooms or the restaurant, dust isn't good for computers either.
I am sure this wind is bad enough to do damage, so i'm thinking about people whose houses are not very secure, roofs might be blown off, fences might be blown down etc. I am so safe here in my bubble.
Yesterday I was at the girls' centre having fun with the kids and balloons and story books. Just as I was leaving one of the little ones (Kedende, my favourite, although i know i shouldn't have one) got upset about something i didnt see. She took off her clothes and threw herself on the floor of the compound and rolled around in the dirt and stones crying her head off. I have seen kids have tantrums in supermarkets at home of course, but the poor child seemed unconsolable, even when one of the other volunteers and I tried to sit her up and dust her off. I am told Kidende has a 'troubled' past, goodness sake she is only 5 or 6 years old, she shouldnt have had so much trouble already in her little life. Her behaviour is not untypical however, these girls all have difficult histories and have never really known loving responses from adults to modify their behaviour and teach them about trust and safety. Hopefully given time and love at the centre, they will all learn to feel loved and safe.
