it had been raining. everything was wet and soggy and seemed more dirty. the red earth was muddy and puddles reflected the pale sky. the council had been back and seemed to have cleared a section of the ground floor. only a small section though.
the volunteers seemed less excited. we did too i guess. we knew we could never achieve what we wanted for the space. too little time and too little money! we sat in a circle on the upper floor and talked. mr cindy and stan were there and nodded at our proposals. with our ideas in mind and our structure at hand, things seemed they might work out as planned after all.
after a woolies lunch at the library, catherine, guy and tom squashed into hannah’s palio and went to benoni to meet the ever-reluctant and even more inefficient council.
we stuck up issue 0 of the kwa thema pages. people were so intrigued. they stared and wandered over to read. one or two were not accommodating but a stick-and-run seemed to work better than the more diplomatic approach! the children at the school were ecstatic – not about our posters though. all they wanted was for us to make them famous. so snap snap snap…
