So, it has been a while since I've updated my journal. Hopefully, I will have remembered everything.

As it stands now, Brad and I are conducting some water quality tests under the watchful eyes of our successors, two local science teachers. They will be carrying out the pathogen tests (which were just figured out yesterday) after we leave. The younger teacher (~26 years old) is particularly bright and intends to be a scientist someday. Frankly, I think that he is much more capable than the limitations of his situation allow. It makes me so sad.

The other group returned early due to transportation difficulties. The dogs whined throughout the night. The surveys on 1/13 went smoothly for the most part although people are spacey and/or distrustful occasionally. Temne lessons continued, and my bit of knowledge seems to impress the locals - children and adults alike.

Back to work.
