You can't escape development.
Either sink or swim - or move to the forest. But then it will come to your forest and you'll have to either swim or sink.
So it's better pick an option earlier. Sorry.

100 laptops
Akure. Federal Government Girls College.
100 brand new laptops (wow! 4 hours far from Lagos!)
Running a teachers training there now and it's the first time I see one person per system...
Hope girls get to use the laptops. I've already been told that "we afraid they might break them..." that sounds more or less like a sentence.

What old school newspaper says
Today I got a souvenir from the head of the press club in Queens College: old school newspaper dated 1998. And I fell in love with one article, precisely defining all the tiny QC details. Hereby I provide some extracts, the very best of it.
"...Also, why do QC girls spend their time shadowing people's shoes. I find it very disconcerting, the way QC girls appraise each other from head to toe, instead of the other way round. In QC, your shoes seem to be the criteria for judjing the size of your father's bank account. I know I am naive in thinking that QC is exemped from the dirty, mercenary behaviourof the outside world. I always saw QC as a sort of utopia. The priority QC girls give material wealth totally defeat the purpose of educating us to become responsible and sensible women in the future.
Perhaps, it is the QC way, but can someone explain to me how it is possible for someone to be allergic to so many things. Until I came to QC, I wasn't aware of it that a human being could actually be allergic to toilet water. QC girls are allergic to sweeping, weeding, washing toilet, running round the field,in fact any corporal punishment you can think of, at least one QC girl is allergic to it. It seems to me that in QC we are breeding a totally new species of the genus Hominidae".

My ladies say, it's still all about them...:)
