I'm an aid worker, trying to do my little bit to leave the world a better place than I found it. This blog sporadically tracks my adventures in various countries, as I try to play my part is the massive venture to Make Poverty History.

Let the Countdown Begin

So – I’m starting to get very very excited about going home at Christmas – less than two months to go and I cannot WAIT. I have a mental list of things to check out – I want to look at the program for the Moonlight Cinema while I am there, Anna is checking out concerts during my stay, I will need some new clothes and most of all, I need to see how much my puppy has grown.


For those of you unfortunate never to have met her, this is Phoebe – our little schnitzel (schnauzer-shitsu cross) – a non-stop bundle of energy who can wriggle like nothing else and never seems to calm down. And I miss her so much and cannot wait to see her again…



Life out here in Soroti continues on – the Ukrainian helicopter pilots cooked dinner the other night, which gave quite a few of us unpleasant lingering after-effects! We also had a dummy spit when the restaurant at the hotel put the prices up by about 30% - Giovanni, the UN OCHA head of office here went and threatened that we’d all check out, so they caved and returned to the original prices – power to the people!


Anyway – continuing with my theme of being too tired/busy/lazy to really write much, I thought I’d give you some pictures of food being airdropped in Pader – due to the inaccessibility of the area, the food is dropped from planes and we meet it on the ground. Just try not to be underneath it when it lands!

What a soggy dog.
Since the shaving, she has grown back a lot less colour than that photo. More white, and the browny bits are more golden. More attractive, IMHO. She hasn't grown much though.

What is in those bags? Is it grains or something?
