We have been informed about the distruction of the two World Trade Center towers and the bombing of the Pentagon. It's amazing! We don't have a lot of informations. Please keep us informed through the Forum! For now, the Car@van continues the mission.

We all had a very bad night; some because of the fleas in the bed, others because of the hyenas, some because they just couldn't sleep. And maybe because yesterday was the last day of 1993. Today, we're in 1994...

There is no school today, it's bank holiday. We let anyone in our house. We give first aid to some children. Many of them don't wear shoes and walk bare foot. When they hurt themselves, the wounds get easily infected. Greg, our doc, cures them, and give them some medicine. The number of 'patients' increases very quickly. But in fact, we understand that most of them just need some attention.

The soccer tournament is going on. Today, the Monkeys bate the Tigers 4 to 1, and the Zebras bate the Lions 4 to 3.

To celebrate New Year's Eve, we had dinner with Brother Zenebe. He lives in a beautiful house, made of concrete. His splendid housemaid's name is Mabite (that makes the French laugh... understands who can). Tonight, we eat an Injera... by the way we haven't spoken about this yet !

Injera si the national dish, made with  millet farina (called Tef), or barley. It looks like a big spongious girdlecake. With your right hand, you take a piece of it, with fish, meat, or salad and you put some 'Wat' on it, a spicy sauce. It's a very dense meal, full of proteins and carbohydrics. Moreover, Injera is only made in Ethiopia.

After dinner, Theo shows a one hour tape about Nomad Community around the Interactive Round the World Tour. Brother Zenebe says, with a lot of fun : "I go with you, I leave the Congregation, I become a New Nomad !".

Finally, we go home, quite tired, and full !
