dead hippo, visitors from Germany, meeting accumulation and Busch 
Hello,
now again after some time has gone by, here's a brief review on the last few weeks:
- now I was right in Queen Elizabeth NP d'rin, which means I have too much money paid for it, that I was allowed through a gate. Behind the gate there was namely not much more to see than before. But this was also due to the time of day and the fact that we did not want to wait for the dawn. Thus, we (Abel, Fred Bitawha, his wife and me) met no elephants or lions. For this was unfortunately quite at the beginning of National Parks in the night previously died hippo in the bush near the road. Even if not clear was whether it has been poached or victim is a duel, was poisoned or was similar: So close I would not not have gotten to a hippopotamus. If we are to believe rumors, set this cute animals namely more people to do it as crocodiles. In the water, a fishing village in the park then I have seen on a night spot. In addition, there were some antelope and an enormous number of flycatcher and other bird species. Unfortunately, in many places in the NP and fire remains, and as we drove back in the afternoon, were in several places around the exterior wildfire. There is no fire. (Viewed from the terrace of the King Fisher Lodge) from above was then clear how large the scale of the fires.
- Og Bitahwa Fred is a brother of the Gruen-Derse RPWRD nyine and is visiting Uganda. This means that some issues on the table, which is good. On the other hand, I have so this week almost exclusively with computer work Meeting Minutes and spent typing, or attended meetings. Where all this leads, time will tell. From a European perspective besth here quite a lot of communication deficits. But perceptions are relative.
- On Monday I had our coordinator Godivah evening responded to, in my view for inappropriate a conservation organization, use of the grasslands behind my house (actually reserve for bird breeding, it is being completely cleared and for using the Milletanbau in February or March after. crop trees should then be planted there. Unfortunately, this means among other things before burning). Your in my view something stupid answer that not a sign of knowledge or interest in biological contexts of, was: ". We have enough birds," By me almost eerie coincidence, a large part of grassland burning on the next afternoon from due to an accident (maybe a spark jumped from somewhere, or a smoker has thrown a cigarette butt carelessly). This was not only from an environmental point of view, Katasrophe, but not without danger because the fire came up quite close to our cabins.
is perhaps interesting to mention also why I had the night before with Godivah addressed the issue: She said a meeting of the phrase I should note, we used the country is now temporarily leased land as the Milletanbau stress. Of these, the Germans who support us ected and know have the copy, but nothing more.
I love working in partnership.
- On the Compound torches not only protected areas, but it also does something constructive: the previously unused cabins are right for the eco-travel project rebuilt. In this case, the majority of self-will even containing. The work is performed using the unfired brick and clay building techniques for which Abel is responsible.
- Again is a journey in front of the door: Zanzibar. In the coming week we first have to Kampala and then after a week of work on CAP with Lale (the proposal I have in between yet translated into German) and continue towards Tanzania. Following the Zanzibarbesuch is also already the Weltwaerts intermediate seminar. Time is running and constantly on and off the electricity in the city, and many small Internetinstabilitaet occasionally confounding factors inhibit the implementation of all plans I've made so. But Slowly by slowly. This is such and work in my view, when I look back at the first few months, in the end quite well.
- From the bombings in Kampala I have also heard (which was not very fast and because of the location information and course there is not). But I see no greater danger to volunteer in Uganda, which results from it. Rather, it could endanger the travel project and worse could probably also the disputes in connection With the upcoming election in February. I at least hear again and again without being able to say much to himself.
This was only a brief review of some events here. Next week I get my first private visit and this afternoon I drive over the weekend to Fort Portal, where I will make another attempt to finally get the coveted crater lake, except the I have almost all of our sending group ever visited.
Many greetings to Germany
Desiree
