This is my blog. It's been going for a couple of years now. I'll keep writing in it from time to time, often for no particular reason.

Events, non-events, photos

I've finally uploaded some more photos into the gallery - new albums (Meru, Construction, and More Mamas and Kids) so there is no need to sift through old albums. I'm trying to get some more videos up onto Youtube - but internet here is very slow.

Events:

More pieces of roof keep going up, tanks getting plumbed and water being collected.
More health and finance lessons for mamas (and now labourers), land lent to mamas, business plan provided to us and money lent - currently being ploughed.
Alterted by neighbours of unscrupulous characters wandering around the area.
Fence cut the other night and a small water tank stolen - guards too slow or too asleep to catch them.
Theft considered a scoping activity in preparation for a bigger heist.
Security systems improved and ready for attackers. Neighbours advise that they will kill any thiefs they catch.
Watched the documentary - 'Three Peaks, Three weeks' - charity climbs for NGOs in this region - definitely worth a look if you can find it. Not bad, but irritating for those who live here to see it all generalised and crammed into some nutshells.
Looking forward to visitors.

Non-events:

Shopping today - all closed. Will have to invent something interesting for dinner tonight.

You really have captured some beautiful shots of the people you are surrounded with - all so photogenic!
