hurry up and wait

So that meeting I was really excited about didn't happen. Our new committee (the one that includes youth and is motivated to start new projects in the village like our ecotourism project) was supposed to meet with the chief and the old development committee last Saturday. Our chief was going to ask the old committee to step aside and let our new committee run the development projects in the village. This is really important because the last time our committee tried to do something (the Serua Day fundraiser), the old committee came and took over. So now we're afraid to start any new projects because they might shut us down. That's why it's good that the chief supports us because he has the final say in everything so the old committee should listen to him. But the old committee didn't show up for the meeting on Saturday. So I guess we just have to wait until they decide to come. What I really want is to have the support of the old committee. I hate to think that I'm part of something that will divide the village into two sides. But this process was started before I even came to the village so I'll just have to wait and hope everything ends up ok. Wait, wait, wait. That's what I spend most of my time doing...waiting.
