Had dinner with a chap and learned a lot about diamond trading – absolutely fascinating and understanding how value ramps up as stones go form discovery to the finger.
Had a great meeting with the Private Public Partnership. They asked us to rework our proposal and send to them so they could take to DFID in SL tomorrow. Each time we continue to build advocates and we shall see.
Met the Minister of Health and Chief Medical officer (Picture) and what an outstanding minister. Discussed the health centre part of the site and now that is on track. Now clear on process. President now left the country so can’t see us this visit. Then to meet a businessman who runs a water and ice making factory and chicken farm. Keen to partner with us and train all our people – great possibility and he start is for him to come to site and settle on what building need to be where.
Groundnut stew for dinner and then more costings before bed
