Preparation of an adventure like I never did
The coordinator of the catholic schools wants to do an expedition and visit several parishes far from Basankusu.
I asked to join him in order to give all trainings I prepared to these teachers who still have come to the big city of Basankusu in their life! (training on how to teach French to kids of primary school, in math for secondary school: basic geometry, trigonometry, in physic: optic) and distribute and explain them national programs. He accepted.
It will be a trip of 500km, deep in the forest. We will need 3 weeks.
3 weeks without any electricity, phone, internet. Just nothing. He wants to go by car.
Until then nobody did it. Everybody says it is impossible. The trail is even not large enough for bikes…
Well, he said we would carry machete and hache (things to cut herbs and trees) and we will do it.
I have the impression to be in the skin of these explorators of the 15th century!
I put you a map with the parishes we will visit, if god helps us!!
We should leave the 9th of march. So my birthday will be “celebrate” on the trail!
