Celebration

We were scheduled to have a celebration today in conjunction with the bags. It was cancelled due to a rather surprising large variety of reasons including but not limited to:

***Security Issues
***An important person who died yesterday in the same neighborhood as the school
***A lack of permissions from people who want us to pay 'extra money'
***New Year's Day
***Miscommunications all around, none of which were due to a language barrier
***There are 'Too many white people running around unsupervised, just coming and going as they please.'

Supposedly the distribution is still on, but who really knows how that will look or when it will actually happen. Hopefully they'll let at least a few white people 'run around and come and go' so that we can be sure that the things actually do get given and that they are given to the right people and so that we can take some pictures.

Today was one of those days where you just want to give up and go home...you feel like anything and everything you have done/are doing here is pointless. Like the minute you finally accomplish something and see some sort of progress they step in with stupid paperwork stuff and stupid reasons and accusations and everyone around you is discouraged and you are discouraged and you just want to quit.

What do you do on a day like this? Go home, stay home and wait for tomorrow to come. Because surely tomorrow will go better than today.
