October Vacation!!!!



For a good portion of October I took a much need vacation with my father. A much needed vacation I must say. We had a blast. These are some pictures with my Opuwo family, and a picture of a shebeen in the north.

Male Engagement Training in Diviudu


Thankfully this was the last training and it was in the north. Planning and running these things while still working on other projects almost drove me over the edge. Or, maybe it did. (Sept 29th)

Male Engagement Workshop in Otjwarango


Another workshop that we did with volunteers and community members. (Sept 22nd)

Back in Rundu


Found a great sign. Had to post it. (Sept 12)

Male Engagement Workshop Keetmanshoop


Running a workshop in the South. (Sept 8th)

My friend


Rest in peace. You were loved and are greatly missed by all those who had the joy off meeting you.

Funeral


Went back to Opuwo for after the death of a close friend. This is Kaketja's mom and a small child that wouldnt let go of me. (Aug 25th)

Looking through the TB registers at the clinic. Did something like 8 clinic visits in two days covering a huge area. (Aug 14th)

Assessing a community DOTs TB Program in the north


I was sent to the North to do a program assessment for HOPE. (Aug 14th)

Katima


A diamond amongst the rough. The rare and illusive Joemus Dirtites, a.k.a the African King Mullet. This fine specimen was stalked in a bank on the shores of the mighty Zambezi. It brings tears to my eyes.
