Hello out there JOI supporters. A great day for the team. The Leo Mosho and Macheme groups hooked up around lunchtime. There were hugs and greetings all around and some tears. Everyone in all three groups are still doing well. Many hiked up to the Lava tower this afternoon. What a siight! And we made it to 15,000 and could still breathe.
