Leaving for Leadership Camp

We leave tomorrow for the leadership camp. There will not be access to any computers etc., so will be communicating in a week or so - will try and touch base as soon as I am able.
There will be around 230 people at the camp - started taking 3 truckloads of food up there today. I will be giving lectures on animal hubandry (among others) and have just spent time with the district vet. A very interesting women who studied and trained in Moscow.
The group works very well together trying to get child sponsors before school starts on the 21st. I am involved in the interviewing process and will also be teaching conflict resolution at the camp for 8 different age groups. I have a lovely Basotho lady as my paired person who will give the talks with me - we are finishing our preparations today. Should be a very fun and exciting time with all of the kids!!

Hey Dr. Douglas:
So glad that you made it safe. Mike and I were wondering how things were going and glad that I decided to check out the Valley Vet site and found this blog. We will definitely be keeping up on your adventure.
Keep safe and have a great time.

Kathy, Mike and Beau Hamelin
