I apologize for the delay in my final Tanzania post.
USOMAMA Cooperative was a delight! 19-21 members attended every session. At the closing, there was a wonderful luncheon of stewed goat and chicken with rice and sima. I was given lovely fabric of the tribal pattern in the area. The CNFA Country Director and Program Manager attended along with the District Cooperative Officer.
The unfortunate news was that my Mother had been hospitalized. My son Rob and his girlfriend Bari were in Palm Desert at the time, so visited Mother with some supplies from her home. My brother Jim and wife Kaye flew down to supervise her move back to The Carlotta. CNFA and its travel agents were successful and I came home early. Mother is now fine.
I am leaving in an hour for my flights to Doha Qatar; I will again be working with Commercial Bank Qatar's commercial lenders and credit analysts. My friend, Haitham is the AGM and Credit Risk Manager. He was a student many years ago when I taught at the Egyptian Banking Institute.
An early Happy St. Patrick's Day to all!
