Humor amid disaster?

 This young lady had a tough time delivering the Ministry of Education exam papers to the waiting RAM aircraft preparing for another relief/assessment flight to the South Rupununi.

Not only did her umbrella invert while stepping out of the car in a downpour, but she slipped on the muddy ramp with that contraption and all the exam papers for the district under her arm.  Fell splat - shrieking into the deep puddle adjacent to the plane.  She was laughing at the end - (not hurt, papers still dry) and we were entertained throughout.
 
Yvonne had to put up this sign the other day at the RAM shack toilet.  Many of the volunteers continue to perform marvelously while suffering from GI ailments of various descriptions. 

Too many volunteers, and none have time for plumbing at this level! 



Most appreciated donation so far.  Leroy and his buddy's made an impact on volunteer morale by picking and delivering this load of mangos to the RAM shack porch.  His team also arranged boats for our neighborhood assessment team at Windmill.
