This message from Dana to Jim:

 

Louise is letting me use her email. She has a mobile hot spot. We are going to try and send some photos to Sheryl so she can post them on the blog. In the meantime below is one that Louise already had on her computer.

We had a great day! I learned how to shuck dried corn and take it off the cob so it can be ground into corn flour for nsima. We are cooking dinner now with no  electricity,. It went out about 30 minutes ago, so we are in the dark. The headlamp is coming in very handy. And the cooks are using our little lantern. Good thing we bought candles too when we got here. 

Jim got another text indicating that the power had come back on, so looks like it was only off for about an hour.
