Gail and I had a productive time last night planning the PFO. Today, I went shopping, got a few things set up at the church, and typed up some last-minute questions and scenarios for a few of the exercises we’ll be doing with the team this weekend. People will start to arrive tonight but we won’t officially start until 9 a.m. Saturday.

I’ve been sitting here in Bob Willems’ den listening to Bob and LEAMIS co-founder Debra Snellen talk about a new project in which Bob has just been trained combining aquaculture and hydroponics — a relatively small tank can produce both tilapia and a small garden. It’s something LEAMIS may be able to implement on future trips.
