Water 1 | Africa: It's not what you think
https://catherinerodd.wordpress.com/2014/06/27/water-1-4
Posted by Catherine Rodd. June 27, 2014. Water, or rather the lack of it, is a significant problem in most of sub-Saharan Africa. Every morning, we load up our 4×4’s with cases of bottles and hope we’ve counted accurately so it lasts the day. For every person we add during our trip, we need to subtract their ration from our stores. In the dry months, fights over water regularly break out between farmers and pastoralists (nomadic herders) over water. Sometimes people are killed. June 27, 2014 at 7:57 pm.

Food 2 | Africa: It's not what you think
https://catherinerodd.wordpress.com/2014/07/09/food-2
Posted by Catherine Rodd. July 9, 2014. Lunch at a community gathering in Luanda, Angola. We rarely eat in restaurants as they are few and far between. Instead, we eat in people’s homes. And it’s always a treat to meet families and share a meal. If the harvest is good, there is squash, yam, cassava, African potatoes eggplants, garlic, and carrots. Condiments don’t figure highly except for the local hot sauce, which each place claims is the best and only true hot sauce. But it’s a hard sell in the rural a...

One thought on “ The New Good. July 9, 2014 at 11:42 pm. I love the idea of redefining ‘good’ and I think its really true that countries will change if we make them.

https://quirkyheart.wordpress.com/2014/07/12/the-wild-places
Stories about acts of kindness – big and small. July 12, 2014. I was told that it was nature running its course and that I should leave the bird, but my family also knew that that just wasn’t an option. I’ve always loved animals and from a young age always wanted to take care of them when necessary. I felt somewhat guilty calling late at night, but I also knew that rescue operations had to feed baby animals every few hours, so I figured someone would have to be up (and perhaps tired and cranky! A few day...

Stories about acts of kindness – big and small. Author Archives: Mila Khan. July 31, 2014. When I started looking for a place, I heard a rumour of a room at Milton’s place.

Stories about acts of kindness – big and small. July 15, 2014. It’s really easy to get carried away in the day-to-day grind, and there’s always a long to-do list. Sometimes others can have a negative impact on you, and then you carry that energy forward. One kind word is all it takes to stop the downward spiral. When I saw this post, it struck me as something so simple and yet so true. One kind word is sometimes all it takes. This entry was tagged #actsofkindness. Milton’s Place →. Enter your comment here.
