Map making

Today is our last full working day at Heal Africa in Goma. Emotional goodbyes and gifts exchanged.. especially at church this morning...

Yesterday John (UK team), Svetlana and I were able to visit a school and safe transit house to do a few technical tasks. John and I surveyed the main Heal Africa site - ready for the new building. Svetlana became a trained surveyor working with John to survey a few of the other locations. I have been continuing to add data to the google map of the Heal Africa locations, they are no longer forgotten, they have a name and a place recorded for the world to see. I also managed to help complete a rain water harvesting filtration project at the Buhimba Safe Transit House. Where they have carried water in the past - now they have filtered water - with a little chlorine it will be safe to drink. Credit to Alex Densmore for getting this started. Little by little...

We will miss this place...
