Hello again,
I've spent the past few weeks traveling around trying to promote the xylophones and the soap. So far it's been going really well. I'm in Accra this week. And next week I will travel up to Burkina Faso. There I'll be working at a trade fair to learn more about soap production and I'll also be selling the soap for the Clinic. This is pretty exhausting. Imagine hitchhiking, camping, and couch-surfing through two countries. And every town they speak a different language. And when I get to Burkina, the common language is French, which I don't speak at all.
Here's my anecdote for the week. I've been staying in some dirty spots while on the road. I was putting on a shirt the other day. I got the shirt on and felt something moving in it. I shaked the shirt a little and a live cockroach fell out. That sucked. And another time I was going to the bathroom, and all I can say is this: a rat touched me.
Take care,
Adam Martyn

I am glad things are beginning to get back to normal for you. Usually you have to go to "special" farms" to get the animals to "touch" you.
It has got to be tough. A lot of traveling and dirty, and I am sure, not the most comfortable of digs.
Be careful of little bugs, small animals, and the large hungry types as well.
Pace yourself. You will be there for a while longer. Don't try to get it all solved in a weekend.
Thanks for sharing. We all care about you and your adventures.
Take care.
