What a nice day. Did little work as I chatted with various staffers saying goodbye. Kwame' came in and we had a final discussion. Then on to dinner at the African restaurant where we had guinea fowl (which tastes like pheasant only slightly smaller) so a good choice. Tilapia was also served and I had one last taste of that.
Attached is a pic of our dinner as I accepted a gift of an African shirt which the staff got for me as a going away present. I appreciated their kind words and their help during the last two months.
As I reflect over the last two months, the privations involved and endured were certainly tolerable. As an older NGO, I doubt that I could handle those difficulties that I hear the younger ones describe,i.e., no running water, no elecrticity, no a/c.
As for accomplishments, I have definitely advanced the free press, free speech agenda in various countries, the extent of which, however, will or will not be realized in the next several months and year.
I now close down my laptop and pack it for my trip home tomorrow. Sometime over the weekend I hope to make another blog. Till then....
