I'm uncertain how long Margaret and her husband, John Laurence (from whom our Manitoba star obtained her famous name) were in Africa before well-building machinery arrived. Her plural of the word month means at least three of them. They had the surveying and plans done and time for a few adventures. Now: it will be enthralling to see how she & John made the Somalian wells and how widely extra wells helped people.

Always, Margaret's masterful writing draws me into any subject. She handles even Somalia's hardship and people as perceptively as kindly. Not once was she exasperated with the thought "Why do people idiotically not help people help them"! She is understanding of the way they have to think; of a constant possibility of starvation, in weather and terrain they can't control. I am enjoying this better than expected.
