Yesterday we went to Georgetown to apply for a driving
permit for the duration of our time here to replace our temporary passes. We had to fill in a form and leave our UK
driving licenses in what looks like a completely disorganised and chaotic
office so we are just praying we get them back safely! We have been told to collect them next
Monday so hopefully they won’t get lost and we can get our Guyana permits
without any further hassle!
Children’s home knock back
Today we went to Gibson school to do another lunch club –
thankfully we didn’t have quite so many children today – only about a hundred –
more manageable but still chaotic! We
had booked to go the Mahaica children’s home at 4pm to take a short service but
when we arrived we were told we would need to write to the child care and
protection agency to obtain permission as they are a Government
organisation. We were really
disappointed not to present what we had prepared but have written the letter
and hope to be able to get in there very soon!
Tomorrow I have to do the Helena lunch club on my own as
Mark has a ministers’ meeting in Georgetown – eek! I also have to walk carrying all my stuff so am not looking
forward to that part!
Dead crocodile
On our way out yesterday we spotted a dead crocodile (or alligator – can’t tell the difference!) on the road near our house. It looked like a young one as it wasn’t huge but we were amazed to see it! The road kill here is certainly interesting!! And it reinforces the warning we have received not to go walking in the countryside! Wouldn't want to meet a live one!
