"Us and the roosters, not even the sun."

Hi Everyone!

 

How are you doing?  Things here are pretty good.  I am finally on my two days off and I welcome the break.  Work has been so tough lately. 

 

I am sure that you are wondering about the title of this message.  This is what Sarah and I say to each other as we walk to the hospital in the dark.  Unfortunately it isn't completely true because there are quite a few people lurking in the shadows of the night when we walk to work.  When we work together of course we walk together, but our schedules are often different and we end up walking alone.  Why don't we take a taxi you ask?  Because it is winter.  That means it's cold and dark at 5AM when we leave the house and the taxi drivers don't want to get out of bed at that time of the morning either!! 

 

So, it is because of the increasing darkness, cold and the increasing security risk that I have asked, and have had approved, to open a car project fund to be able to buy a car.  The sooner I get a car the better, but with my income I can't afford it on my own.  :-)  So, if you would like to donate to help me out, then you can still get tax credit for it, and Sarah and I can safely get to and from work. :-)  

 

The best place to get a car is Windhoek, so a friend has her friend's husband on the lookout for me.  So far the cars he has found have cost around Namibian $37,000, which is a little over $5000 USD.  So that is the basic amount that I am looking to raise.  Of course any extra would greatly be appreciated!  If you send the check to AIM, just include a note in the envelope that says it is for the car project fund for me, if you write it on the check you won't get tax credit.  If you have any questions please feel free to ask!  Thanks!

 

lots of love,

kapande
