2nd time to Lusaka, Zambia

Once again I have had a chance to visit Lusaka, Zambia - to me, another opportunity for a re-newed perspective and perhaps life changing event. Since my last visit almost four years ago I have noticed much more development, lots of construction, newer/improved roads and coming soon - faster Internet! It is the colder, dry season this time around and definitely no chance or wearing shorts or taking a swim. So for you folks who think it is always hot and sunny in Africa, this isn't the case in the entire continent.

Trip to Blantyre, Malawi

Group shot with the staff I spent time with on getting established a computerized interviewing software application. This took place at the Johns Hopkins University Research Project at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre, Malawi.

Few more snaps from Nairobi, Kenya

Nairobi, Kenya continued

Wrestling a rhino at the entrance to the Nairobi National Park. Had an opportunity to go on a safari, first for me, riding in an open truck through nature looking for animals in the wild. The safari reminded me of fishing, you cast your pole, and hope to catch something. Same idea, you drive around hoping you find something. If you see a lion, you caught the big fish!

Preparing for trip to Nairobi, Kenya

Getting ready to visit Nairobi, Kenya for an international Information Technology meeting with all Council technology staffers. Looking forward to visiting this city, in the past, I have only seen the airport and hope to be able to post some snaps.

Preparing for a trip to Marrakech, Morocco over the next week. My purpose of this visit is to present a computerized interviewing workshop at the IUSSP. I hope to catch some snaps and share them on this blog. Best!
