The office in the diocese I am in has ac. pleasant to say the least. Discussion as to how one thinks when one is living hand to mouth with no spare cash for a safety net. The future or next month is not thought of but how to manage today is the focus. It reminded me that it was strikingly similar to the attitude of the homeless when I worked at Street Health in the late 80's. Poverty is poverty regardless of where or when. The inflation rate here is 50 per cent. Wages have remained the same. A new president was elected yesterday, John Mahama with a majority government. He has been president a few years ago. Hopefully this new government can turn the economic slide around. Interesting note; they closed the airports for the day so everyone could vote .... good job I had not planned to arrive last Saturday .
