After all the time spent traveling, I had a much-needed, restful weekend. I went to the beach and watched rugby with some friends. Rugby is a huge sport here. I would say its popularity is equivalent to the U.S. with football. Today I am in the office working on setting up production of the RUTF peanut butter supplement. I am meeting with someone in charge of a food processing company to talk about buying a bakery style mixer and producing groundnut paste, then I am meeting with the plastic company in Freetown to discuss manufacturing plastic containers to hold the supplement. It is exciting to begin obtaining supplies to start locally producing the supplement in a larger amount. Our goal is to buy as much as possible locally in order to give business to Sierra Leoneans. I'll keep you posted as we begin the production room!
