an easy way for friends and family to keep up with life on the dark continent or wherever we end up...

Back up and running...

Apologies to everyone it's been over A YEAR since I updated this thing and there's been plenty happening in the mean time...

so a belated MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR, HAPPY BIRTHDAY etc to everyone!!!!!!!!

I've literally just put a whole YEAR's stuff up but I think only the latest blogs show on the screen to start with, so if you go over <== there on the left side, there's an archive where you can find all the old ones. There's a few at the start of 08 in Nigeria, Zanzibar in May 08, then our move the US, Canada in Sept 08, Cuba in Jan 09 and Guatemala and Mexico in Easter 09, enjoy...

Ikaare - Unity Junior Grammar School (2 of 2)

Unfortunately we had to leave Nigeria before IBSF could open the school officially as they wanted all the sponsors and the local king to come to the ceremony.

An expat blogger wrote about it here (with HEAPS of photos!!) and from what I can tell it was a great party. It's good to see that village finally getting somewhere, hopefully it'll stay that way...

We worked really bloody hard on that school and I was sad to miss the fun

> Cheif Osaba (the principal)[red tie] and the local King Oba Akinyemi [beige mumu]

[l-r] The principle, Osaba; the vice; the king; and reps from the education department
all looking very proud of themselves...
