... with Hotsun Safaris, going to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Maasai visit and Hadzabe (Bushman) visit. Ally, the owner of Hotsun, is a great guy and it was an easy choice picking his company for the safari. There were a few good details that really made the trip great. First, the potentially weakest part of the itinerary is the Maasai visit. I have been on several over the past 2 years and I tell you that they can be really staged and gi ve ...

... I did some research on the company on the Internet and there was nothing but Mike said the equipment was new. In the end I decided to chance it and hope for the best because they had good equipment, I liked the guy that was going, the timing was perfect as was the route, and the price was excellent.<br><br>Day 1<br><br>The first day there was a little drama as my card could only pull out a certain amount so I had some amount due when I got back. I was also a little ...

... sort them for my rounds, the night shift often just sleep through their shift (sound familiar?) but here they won't give medication, or they will forget, or they wont document the medication given...we are still working on the importance of assessment...documentation is a little further down my list... then I do a quick once over to make sure the patients are all still alive...several times we have gone through the ward, and had the staff walk past a patient in the process of crashing ...

... family where we would be integrated into their everyday lives. Their last name is Kilelo from the tribe called Maasai. However they are not traditional Maasai whereas men have multiple wives and multiple families. Also in Maasai culture one could visit another persons home, put his spear outside someone&#8217;s home notifying them he was there and proceed to have sexual relations with another&#8217;s wife. Also within this tribe female and male circumcision ceremonies take place within ...

... I've done a pretty good job J (toot! toot! Is that my own horn I'm hearing?) Having said all of that, since last posting about Amose, I received a very generous donation via an on-line interact money transfer from Calgary. This donation has afforded Amose and his wife transport and transfer to the local hospital (the best they've got here in Moshi). Amose is currently under the care of doctors here and waiting to undergo his surgery. There ...

... basis in this country. Speaking and understanding correctly is always a battle, but you learn as you go. Last week, Kim and I re-visited Amose and Happiness in their home in Pasua. Amose (the man) has returned from hospital only a few days prior after a massive blockage in his catheter had caused his abdomen to bloat and inflate. Happiness (his wife) could not afford to take him to the hospital and so their community pastor stopped by their ...

... were on their way up. Dave was from the USA and is over in Tanzania volunteering at an orphanage founded and owned by a man called Johnson. They were really friendly and asked me to come work at the orphanage, and also gave me their details to pass on to friends. I was in bed by 7 as i was so tired! On Thursday I woke up at 7 with the cook bringing me my cup of tea. It was the best nights sleep I had had all the time on Kili. During breakfast I chatted some more to Dave and Johnson ...

5am comes fast....especially when there is a yard full of ****ing roosters outside your window... seeing as I am the only one awake I brew a cup of tea and sit on the varandah awaiting my first sunrise in africa... It has been raining hard all night, the damp earth and tropical flowers fills my nostrils as Tuesday morning first peeks out from behind the horizon. I get my first glimpse of Kilimanjaro towering in the background, at first I mistake the ...

... on wooden benches in the courtyard awaiting treatment. Some are healthy and chatting; while others are emaciated and can barely hold their heads up. I am directed towards the matron's office by a lethargic receptionist, visions of severe faces framed by habits flashing through my mind. These images are immediately chased away by a cherubic elderly African face that has just made an appearance from behind the door. This ...

... een ' attractie' tijdens het reizen! Zien <br> wat er allemaal aan boord komt (tot nu toe pas 1 levende kip aan boord <br> van een bus gezien, verder wel errug veel marktkoopwaar en mensen), hoe <br> het eraan toe gaat met het betalen, enz. <br><br> <br><br> Tijdens een rit ontstond er ook een ruzie in de bus! Een hoop geschreeuw <br> in het Swahili heen en weer voor een half uur, de chauffeur reed wel gewoon <br> door. Omdat het ...
