Cassava is hard to eat

Joseph and Billy

Thanks for the encouraging comments!

Friday we had to be a little patient before our three guests arrived. First came Marius Billy who seems to get more and more interested in MSG, then came his boss in Sweden, Ambassador André Hombessa, and then yet another clever man, Joseph Mandzoungou. Marius had helped us to ask Yvette to cook for all of us, and she made both coffee and dinner. To the coffee break, Yvette had bought baguettes and Mikati. And for dinner there were seven dishes including fried fish. Joseph and André asked many questions about the work and the plans of MSG, and Yngve’s thoughts about the project. Together they reached good decisions, which can be combined.

Those who wish to participate in the CSG activities in the future will have to have a business idea before they start the course. Joseph asked what the role of the board of directors will have once CSG have found local people who can teach the course. Yngve declared that they are working on making the current CSG management redundant. Joseph replied that it might be valuable if the CSG management could be there when the course begins. After today’s discussions we think that Joseph Mandzoundou could accept a senior position in CSG.

Yngve hopes that the church could work more actively with entrepreneurship. The meeting was concluded in consensus and high hopes and then we had Yvette’s delicious cooking. The food that was left over including some cassava, Yvette brought home with her.

  1. Hur går då detta, Kerstin? Ingår inte Maniok i vardagsmaten, som potatis för oss? Det kan inte vara lätt att både prövas i tålamod (väntan

  2. Såå roligt att läsa om era upplevelser. Vi känner igen det mesta. Visst är Brazzaville en fin stad! Missa inte att fika på stans finaste café, som ligger på
    “Pam-Pam gatan…o hälsa till Joseph Mandzoungou o Maria L! fr oss! Undras om Yvette är den tjejen som lagade maten på Saka-Saka, då vi bodde där?
    Lycka till de kommande dagarna…vi är med er i våra tankar o böner

  3. Jag läser även mellan raderna och tycker att det ser väldigt lovande ut. Jag hoppas att ni får inspiration av detta. Det är ett oerhört viktigt arbete som ni håller på med nu. Viktigt för utvecklingen för Kongo och Kongos folk. Det är glädjande att se Andrés och Billys intresse för ert arbete.
    Men ni måste äta mer maniok det förstår ni säkert.

  4. Detta låter bra! Roligt också att det finns foton varje dag!
