Last night was the official embassy send off for Lon and four other expat staff (cutbacks mean that only three new bodies will replace the five)
Speeches were held (even a brief one by Lon)
It was nice that the colleagues had re-written Boney-Ms By the rivers of Babylon to tease the departing staff
Mediatrice was there from the Wikwiheba project and presented Lon with some of the famous woven hats (again beautifully wrapped!). Talking about it afterward she mentioned that three years ago she would never have dared stand up in a room full of people (2/3 white – including ambassadors) and take the microphone, so she as well as the project have certainly developed.
