The contract is coming to an end. To day I have just completed my final report. All in all I was engaged in activities that needed the production of 6 full reports in this four months assignment. Two on Participatory Learning and Action trainings, one on Organisational Change, one on Membership Policy and one for a Participatory baseline - needs assessment for women and youth. Here they are together with the work plan and timeframe plus the certificate for attendance to the PLA trainings.

Merchinsons always has something new. I found this Patas monkey last time I drove through. It was interesting to see it feeding on the ground just like a baboon.

I received a car with this tyre as the spare - a total wreck. Without knowing I drove 1500 km. in often areas with no help in case of emergencies. I could have been stranded somewhere in the bush - but happily I did'nt.

Files and documents dissapear here - why. The answer might be right here in this photo.

A pig was having a good time at the back of HODFAs office. It was having a manicure by some tick birds that were in the area. Every time a bird landed on the pig, it laid down to be tended to. Interesting how both wild and domestic animalt live in symbiosis with each other.

The rain has changed Merchinsons. It is now green and most of the animals that were down at the delta are now up close to the road that goes through the park - the one I travel all the time.

The Oribi are just jumping from one side of the road to the other.


The bird with the red and blue wattles on the face is the abysinian ground hornbill. The fine eagle is most likely a young crowned eagle. Beautiful ar'nt they.

Electricity can be a scarce commodity in Uganda. Happily the rural service stations are well prepared and have pumps that are both electrical and hand driven like this one.
