I have to backtrack to Thursday, July 16 and will send this in small spurts as power is unreliable and this foreign keyboard is screwing with my mind: Excuse what appear to be spelling and punctuation gaffs. It is monday, July 21, as I write. Last Thursday I took a ninety minute bus trip with Joyce Akayesu to translate as I observed a mediation. When we arrived it turned out that they wanted me to do the mediation as the local mediator had been trying to resolve the case for three years. After six hours I was no more successful than he was. 

Oops, I cannot even end this as the place is closing. I will continue tomorrow. Inshallah:George

Got to sign off now as my hour is almost gone.
