So this time last year I was on site in Africa working with a foreman on government school projects. I didn't like it wholly at the time, mostly because I was treated as a curiosity (being a female Engineer) and secondly because there wasn't much work to actually be done. The calculations had been put through and the foreman and contractor were set up as it was. So I spent my day learning how things were done over there until eventually, the company ran out of money.
I kind of miss it now. I keep remembering the malt beer and meat bread I'd have for my lunch. And the bean stew with shitung. I should call my boss again soon, especially as he said I was to consider myself his daughter!! I hope I can go back one day soon. Maybe once I've graduated I'll go and spend a couple of months visiting properly as opposed to working on a placement.
