Working In the Rain

Things have been a bit hectic here and we've had to do a lot of rearranging of our plans this week! The safari was amazing and we had a great time! We also missed most of the REALLY terrible weather that was here in Cape Town. We don't know if you heard but it rained a lot and that caused a lot of flooding. This was partly what caused us to have to rearrange our plans! Because of the rain, the club members have not shown up for the past 2 weeks. We have yet to give them the menu because of the rain. So we had to figure out something fast, we couldn't wait ANOTHER week to give out the menu because we don't have another week! We called the two women who run the health club and live in Khayelitsha and they came to meet us at the health club. We gave the menus to them as well as the journals and we gave them the directions for what we wanted the health club members to do. They said that they will give out the menus to
the health club members, that way by Thursday they can already be trying out the menus and we can start receiving some feed back. We were a little concerned for a while that this project was not going to happen because of the weather. But we are glad that the health club members have the menus, that they are now being tried out, and that hopefully we are receiving a lot of feed back!

However, we are very concerned about our report now. We have been working on the report steadily over the entire time we've been here, so we have the goals of our project, the methods, and an introduction. However, we have no raw data and we definitely haven't been able to analyze any data. But we are hoping that at the last minute everything will come together!
