This year was the beginning of a journey of re-discovery that has turned out to be worth the while. I decided – after living in Europe for nearly 10 years – to move back to my mother continent – Africa.
When I was offered a position in Kenya, 10 months ago (February 2007), to coordinate water resources management projects in Eastern Africa, I did not butt an eye. Packed the bags and headed “home”. The arrival – baffling and intriguing. The work – exciting and challenging at the same time. The country – a marvel!!! The continent – all I can say is that I wouldn’t give it up for anything.
So to share this journey I have decided to share some pictures of some of the exciting and interesting places where I am doing water-related work. The people, the places, the dynamics and everything you could possibly imagine – this region has. By region I am making reference to the Eastern African region – which of course goes beyond Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. I must admit anyhow that as a southern African – I am biased. That part of the Africa is the centre of the universe….:-).
In the future I shall be sharing with you various experiences I have had and the work that we as a conservation organization are doing.
So until next time – kwaherini and have a blessed and wonderful festive season.

Above and below are pictures of people and places I am working in. As photography is one of passions - I do enjoy capturing the moment in any place I find myself in. So ENJOY!!!
