9 candidates turned up yesterday. Among them, 4 were interviewed. All the others ran away before they actually stepped into the room. They were scared by the English we were using. The ones we interviewed, age ranged from 25 to 45, were tough to handle. Not due to their intelligence, but their inabilities of speaking proper English. Two of them are pastors, one a university student, one a primary school teacher.
I went out of the room in the middle of the interview to have a cig, while leaving John to handle them all. I just could not continue the conversations anymore, since they did not understand anything I tried to convey. But I do believe they can be trained and work according to their abilities. John told me afterwards that he wanted to be trained, rather than training them. So I'll draft a training programme probably on monday and go through it with Mac before executing it.
There would be few more coming in next friday. Next tuesday we'll meet volunteers from Britolam to cut a deal. Hope it won't be postponed again. I need international volunteers to get here as soon as possible to kick start the field works.
I'm still wating for the funding for the poultry business. It probably will be settled in the next few days.
