Dwabor

Now safely in Ghana and after a relaxed induction – introductions to locals, swimming, food etc. I've this morning had my first assignment in what seems to me to be a jungle village of Dwabor. I've been using a site level to survey the levels of Sabre's construction site for a new kindergarten school. 50 to 60 men are clearing the undergrowth with machetes and picks so I had plenty of helpers when it came to set up the laser level that I brought from home. I started at 6.30 and it felt like 11 by the time I finished due to the heat increasing hour by hour.

Off to Besease tomorrow for the elders meeting at 8am where I'll be introduced prior to starting to look at drainage issues next week.

3 men in a boat (and us)

Back from a river cruise on the Niger yesterday - cool breeze - slow boat - Mailian music - women washing clothes - men fishing with nets from long boats - nomad children playing in water - relaxed interaction with locals vegetable stew for lunch - sunset over mosque made of mud. A good day. Writing this in an Internet cafe before we go off to Dogon country to sleep out over night. Lots of photos taken and more blogging to be done soon maybe.

Moubachok?

Where? It's the capital of Mauritania which is a very nice country - hot with friendly people. Currently sitting in a tent in a camping ground that's the car park of an auberge so we get to use their facilities. Just about to have dinner and hoping to find a wifi connections so that I can send this...........
