goat distribution

So I was supposed to leave this morning around 8am to go oversee the distribution of goats that International Teams had donated money to buy for former child soldiers and their families. Mode of transportation is a dirt bike. Lawrence (with an organization called Fida) and I on the dirt bike. We are supposed to go to three different sub-counties, it makes for a long day of travel. Especially when the road has been washed out and we have to go around.

but i'm getting ahead of myself here. we were supposed to leave at 8am, but someone else had used the bike and was stuck out of town because the rain and the bike was malfunctioning. so we didn't end up leaving until after 1pm. (hoping the bike was fixed well enough...) And so we are just flying down the road, even up to over 100km/hr on these torn up clay roads. Lawrence already drives fast, and now we're in a hurry...when we finally get to the first place they complain about having been there since early in the morning, but we move on and get the goats distributed.

we head to the next place, but run into the washed out road, and when we finally find our way there, no one is around. so apparently they are still out buying the goats...then we leave and go to the last place, this time the road was washed out but passable... by the time we get there it is getting late, maybe around 5pm and we've missed the goat distribution, they got tired of waiting and just distributed without us there. At least we were 1 for 3. oh and one more picture for good measure, we needed some fuel so we stopped in this one village and they filled us up with fuel from a coke bottle...
