Landing at 3am

For those of you who've never had to chance to land in an African city in the middle of the night, here is a short description of Hands at Work CEO George Snyman's recent arrival in Dakar, Senegal.

"Arrived at 3 am this morning trying to find my guest house. Took a broken old taxi with a owner called Kebe. A long story short I ended up alone in the middle of a suburb sitting next to the road at 3h30am hoping someone will help me. My faithful taxi man left as his back tyre blew out it’s last breath. As I sat there I met Ebe a security guard who offered me a chair to sit on. We had a nice chat although we didn’t understand a word the other one said. I phoned the owner of the guest house and it sounded like he was on drugs or 110 years old. It came out later he was on an outreach in some remote village... and I was still sitting in the middle of nowhere speaking to Ebe about deep and personal issues... he was very patient and understanding. Eventually a car stopped and showed me where this mysterious guest house that nobody else in the neighbourhood knew about was."
