Unexpected visitors


William, our gardener dealt with several unexpected visits this month.

Whilst digging out some rubble in our compound he disturbed a metre-long venomous snake, which he had to quickly terminate as slid off at high speed.

Later that week he had to act as translator for Helen whilst I was out when a lady paralysed from the waist down called with a startling accusation. She believed I, Adam, who was out at the time she called, had knocked her to the ground with my motorbike a few weeks ago. When I eventually met her for the first time she realised she was completely mistaken and apologised!

Gard, the pastor from the village where we’d first seen isolated deaf in 2007, called by to thank us for the resources and training we’d provided and to ask us to run a sign-workshop for the many other deaf nearby. He has agreed to register them.
