After spending the morning in the office answering emails, at lunch time we headed to town to buy fresh produce for one of our village teams. This family has not been getting many fruits and veggies from local sources.
Armed with a wish list that the family had emailed in, we headed into the market.
We stopped in a store for some empty boxes, packing tape and a marking pen. We packed up the produce in old newspapers and packed them in a box with a block of ice.
We headed to the wharf where we found the ship that was heading out to the village where the Gebauers live. Ship personnel were on the wharf selling tickets and collecting money for shipping cargo. There was a big crowd around the table and I wondered how long it was going to take to get to table to pay for the cargo.
Luckily, one of the women pulled me to the table. Soon some of the other people were insisting that they take care of the boxes we brought. I was able to pay the fee (about $6 USD) and TIm passed the boxes to me and we were soon on our way.
Sometime tomorrow the boxes should arrive in the village and Gebauers will have their produce.
