The conversation at the Japanese Embassy with Koji Yamaguchi and Keiko Nakamura was very satisfactory.

After all the pleasantries were exchanged, I explained the rationale behind the Gizo Hospital drinking water project. This was duly appreciated positively.

Unfortunately, no further funds can be released from the Grass-Root Project. Sanitation and clean drinking water must be organized throughout the Solomon Islands.

I described the situation with the missing toilets in an emergency and lo and behold – solution in sight. Bureaucracy must be maintained, so a brief project plan should be prepared and sent to Yamaguchi-san. In addition, he wants Chris Leve Head Infection Control at Gizo Hospital in the Grass-Root project.

Who would have thought that?

When the drinking water system is installed at Gizo Hospital, they both want to fly there and see everything on site.
