How Much Would It Be To Dye Hair At Jc Salon

News


end of September - my last blog entry is now back a few days .
So first time to my work: On Monday last week, the lessons actually resumed, as it has somehow managed to procure materials for the classroom. Thus, now everything goes on as usual. At half past seven we go, then swept the yard and the teeth are brushed. Then, starting at eight in the classroom. In Envol there are three schools and a group that works mostly in the garden - in this group are those who have not as severe mental disability and are able to perform work in the garden. The volunteer is the freedom to do work in which group it, right now I'm working with a group of six Students with a teacher in the garden of the institution, where we grow corn, lettuce, tomato and hot pepper (red pepper).
The financing of the facility is still in the balance and no one knows how to go about his.
now I am quite settled in well and finding its way into everyday life here. It is likely that in consequence of the blog entries now for the first time no longer seem quite so regularly, as there are just not quite there so much new to report. If you do, you hear it, of course ;-)
I still have a novelty: Because next Monday Germany 20 years reunited, has the German Embassy in Lome in Togo decided to all living Germans invited to celebrate this event.
Until then

Opinions On Dr Leaf And Lawn Vacuums

Envol


So my project: On Tuesday morning I went to my first project here in Kpalimé. In principle, my first official working day since my Stay in Togo, which now is the way for 41 days.
is the name of the project "Envol," which translates something like "fledging, grow up, etc." means. In this project, currently about 20 children with less or more severe intellectual disabilities are accommodated, going to school and learn independently as possible to move through their lives - hence the name.
In reality, of course, everything looks very different again: At the moment the device has massive financial problems and its future is more than uncertain. It's already so far that we do not at all this week make education, since the head of the institution at the moment still do not know how to pay the teachers and also lack of study materials. Here is the story about this: As
founded the project, there were two big winners: First, the CARITAS, and for the Togolese government.
However, the Togolese government has been paying a little longer contributions. Thus, the CARITAS is left alone with the financing. Since the CARITAS not particularly like, you now shortened the financial support of Envol project. This reduction is once again on the on completely false, as the children in the project really there to support depend. Otherwise they would all day to stay home and not be encouraged / required or supported.

Formula Of Thodolight

family

am Yesterday, I finally arrived at my host family! After two weeks in CARED all volunteers were taken to their respective locations, ie, to Lomé, and Atakpamé Kpalimé. In my case, the trip lasted only a few minutes to the center of Kpalimé, I stood before the gate of my guest house.

The apartment of Raimond and Maria (my host parents) is on the first floor of a one-story house ^ ^ and is quite large. On a porch, you enter the apartment and is immediately in the living room, in the The sculptures, which builds Raimond store. After back out a second porch opens into a garden with two trees that are ideal for long afternoons in the hammock. The living room leads into the hall, from which one can reach the two rooms for the volunteers, the bathroom and the room of my family.
My family consists of my two parents - she is a dressmaker, he carved sculptures and works for CDH - and my four host sisters, whose names I always forget:-D
All in the family super nice and totally helpful - if I'm what can, wash example, the first time I have to assure everyone that this really is not a problem, and that I should perform the work like:-D
so the first time to my family, in about two months I will again be able to upload the latest photos, I am in effect again in Lomé and there are plenty of fast internet ;-)

Mont Agou

On Sunday we've got acquainted with the Togolese bureaucracy, and corruption. On the day we were aiming to, climb a few miles from our house, 980m high Mont Agou.

It all started with the taxi that would take us to the mountain. The Faher started with a total price of 25,000 CFA - which was pretty much the most exaggerated price throughout Togo. Over the next hour, which was filled by negotiations, accusations and allegations, he then went down to 16,000 CFA. Still far too much, as has been established subsequently.
During the trip it started to rain then dolle properly - but anyway, in anticipation of the mountain was (still or still) is still larger than the anger at the expensive taxi. When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, there has been another surprise waiting for us. Zugebenermaßen a really nice, by the prefecture government official Agou We really opens up that you would need to climb the mountain a kind of visa - which for us should continue to cost 5000 CFA. Thus, the trip has cost us so far 21 000 CFA. Meanwhile, the rain was steadily increasing. When we asked the taxi driver whether he had because of the tax, or the "VISA" knew he confirmed this, but he forgot to tell us that - well clear.
When we wanted to get off before the mountain, we opened the driver, he would take us up the hill because he did not want him after the walk we verdrecken his car. Fortunately, he was then forced about 3km before the peak of Mother Nature in the form of a fallen tree on the road to it.
Now we could finally start to wander. We have joyfully done to the mountaintop, as the nature and Views have compensated for the recent hardships - until we were faced with a barrier just before the summit. There we have held two men who said they would belong to the Togolese army and had the job of us is out on the top and protect us - Of what else. In any case, this power has cost more 1000CFA. But we were rewarded with a magnificent view over the plateau, the Togolese who our anger has softened a bit.
All in all it was an eventful day, from which we have learned a lot, but this should in any case much more pleasant to run.

Travel and rain



















After one week working in Kampala I was two weeks in Tanzania on the move. driven by bus from Kampala to Mutukula we reached after a long taxi ride to the ferry Bukoba. The atmosphere at the ferry port at night reminded me a lot of scenes from the film "Darwin's nightmare". Chipsi Mayai eating four of us sat on concrete benches around low light and subdued bustle around us. In the not very comfortable night in the third grade, then a relaxing day followed in Mwanza. This was followed in 18 hours by bus to Dar Es Salaam to Zanzibar where we translated. In Zanzibar, we arrived in Nungwi, as luck would have it that we met a Essenes on the ferry, which in turn is already a concrete Target (Nungwi Beach) and a taxi had in mind. So I spent five days in a nice house near the beach. The whole seemed very strange. The contrast of what I got to know far in East Africa, and the tourist resort of Nungwi Beach was so huge that I wondered how I was actually just come up with the Zanzibaridee. But it is a very good experience and the beach was probably is what might be called "paradise". Unfortunately, we have to visit us then not taken the time to even lonelier places or the south of the island but in other sections slowly by slowly the land and sea route, which we had come back traveled. We also have two days in the capital Dodoma spent, which I found very comfortable. There was not just coffee culture (espressos on the road) but also a little strange shop with snacks (Aladin's Cave), where we bought ice cream and tell us a little as occurred at Disneyland. On the journey was followed by the intermediate seminar in Lweza (Kampala) and on the Ssese Islands. With more visitors, we went back after four weeks of the house where I could prepare with great and friendly support of my visitors a little birthday celebration, after I drove over the weekend to Lake Bunyoni. The last time was so very moved and I am now back to work harder on the ground in Rukararwe, but I will up by the visit in October due probably make several weekend trips and take as soon as possible, our contact person for CAP in Soroti. In Bushenyi the rainy season begins again. This means less water carrying and no more problems with burning grass land behind my house where it unfortunately looks just right bare. This rainy season comes a new volunteer to RPWRD and Bushenyi is still green. together

Many greetings to Germany

Indie Rainbow Shoulder Bags

food for thought II

this morning we had the seminar an hour about the differences between the cultures of Africa and Europe. While our teacher has been theorized that there in the development of any society, there are three stages. The first stage of the Homo Faber would say the people who produce the primary stage. The second stage would be the decisive discoveries that a huge increase in productivity of a society with the result. That would be the secondary level. Finally comes the tertiary level that an abrupt increase in communication with the result. These jumps occur cyclically, that is, by major discoveries, and inventions, made an abrupt development forward, then up to next big "discovery" of stagnant or moving toward the next jump.
In Europe, marked the jump to the secondary level by the industrial revolution. should come through the invention of the steam engine is to increase production, etc. The consequences of each are known.
This jump to the secondary level, however, was in a sense the trigger for the colonization on a grand scale, on the one hand the demand for raw materials and, above all, to rapidly rising markets. In addition, the European powers were now simply able to annex foreign territory, as it now had the necessary military potential. This jump
European powers at the secondary level had therefore to interrupt the natural development of African societies to follow, you might say.
However, the question arises whether the African societies have ever developed, even if there had been no colonization by European powers. Respectively. development under European standards. Although one European and African development probably can not compare with each other. Probably it is the first place the big mistake - that the development of African societies is compared to the European, or that it is assumed that there is everywhere a development in the same way.
would therefore see it very interesting how African societies developed without European influence and whether they had done after one, with the similar scheme in Europe.

What's A Flat Floor Plans

Kpalimé

First September - now I've been here for almost a month in Togo. Looking back, is the first month passed very fast, with all the new experiences, people and lifestyles. Of course there were some moments in the month that were very hard and then when I have doubted my decision in hindsight, however, by far the most pleasant situations.
On Sunday we are back after three weeks in Camp CARED Orphanage in Kpalimé arrived where we are now finally back with their own bed and have enough room.
On Monday I was the first time in a hospital in Togo to let me check for amoebic infection and malaria, because I found the last few days was plagued again and again of abdominal pain and it would be useful was to have me by check after a month time. In fact, I'm
infected by amoebae and swallow now three times a day antibiotics, made in Pakistan and Morocco, but I have no malaria.
In the next two weeks we taught here in Ewe, history and geography and then come in the near future in our families.
