The PC is telling us that we are safe here in Kanye and that they believe the strike will be resolved in the next week before we are to go on site visit next week. Although I do trust that they will keep us safe if things escalate here, I am still worried about the situation as a whole. There were in fact some students who did show up at school in Kanye yesterday and were upset when they were told they had to go home and became escalated because of this. This was confirmed for us today by reliable sources. The situation was diffused at the school here yesterday, but the truth is that we really don't know what will happen next in the rest of Botswana and how things will be resolved. Not knowing and sitting tight waiting to see what happens is a bit nerve wracking ( I'm sure it is more nerve wracking for those in villages who have been more impacted by the civil unrest so my thoughts are with them).
Please send positive thoughts to Botswana and hopes that the situation is resolved quickly and without any more violence.
