Home Sweet Home
After 26 hours of traveling we are finally home safe in charleston already missing our adventures, but happy to see electricity, air conditioning, and many other things that makes America so great.
We were glad to have been able to have made a difference including the 1625 kids who were exposed to hygiene education, 15 women who were provided micro loans, and 25 students who applied entrepreneurship principles in the business plan competition.

Last Last Shopping - Really
Just had to visit the local craft market for some very unique prices of music instrument, wood craft, bags and more. Of course we had to negotiate all our prices but under the watchful eye of Soule we got unique pieces to bring home. Good rules of thumb - 25% of offered price. Carolyn almost got a banjo but got another loud instrument instead.
We showed our appreciation to our driver for all he did for us (including keeping us alive - New York driving is safe compared to Cameroon driving).

Shopping for Local Goods
We visited a small boutique to buy Papua jam, coffee and spices for our respective families and friends (including some hand rolled cigars).
We followed by visiting the coffee roasting facility that included piles of coffee and view the coffee roaring process and labs with the plant manager - it was nice to see how the great coffee we enjoyed this week was made.
