"I'm what the world considers to be a phenomenally successful man. And I've failed much more than I've succeeded. And each time I fail, I get my people together, and I say, "Where are we going?" And it starts to get better." - Calvin Trager
Tuesday, June 08, 2004 Paging Mackinnon Webster...
Can only post briefly. Went to the airport to pick up Mackinnon on the British Airways flight from London ... and she wasn't on it! James didn't have her flight information and I could swear she told me she was coming in today on British Airways from london ... and that's only one flight.
I'm headed home to check my computer in hopes she sent me flight info that is on it. But, if anyone knows her flight information, could you call James' house (where I'm staying) at 233-21-300070 (international, of course).
One thing I know, she's not in Accra!
Had a great day today ... went down to the Opera Square CENCOSAD office and a wonderful local woman named Bridget took us out into the community to meet the "opinion leaders" -- local people who organize the HIV peer educators. Just walked through this incredibly densely populated streets meeting people. Lots of interesting smells (both good food and open sewers!). Did some shopping in one of the many huge markets.
Tomorrow, I go to a meeting of the Theatre for Change group, which does AIDS street theater .. and then I see their performance on Friday. Thursday tenatively I'm meeting with people from the refugee camp.
Love you all. Mackinnon ... I hope you're out there somewhere!!!

"Christ's example is being
demeaned by the church if they ignore the new leprosy,
which is AIDS. The church is the sleeping giant here.
If it wakes up to what's really going on in the rest
of the world, it has a real role to play. If it doesn't,
it will be irrelevant."
