Goat birth

A goat that just gave birth. Sorry for the blood works but I thought it is cool because the lamp just walked as soon as it was out (amazing considering it takes us almost 2 years to do the same). I feel like I am invading the privacy of this goat!

Camels

There are so many camels in Somalia. It is the most beloved animal here and they are very expensive. Each one of them costs over $300US. I met a man who had to give up 100 of them because he accidentally killed another man during an argument (talk about anger management issues). This came to around $30,000 (enough to pay back my student loan).

WWII Submarine

Me along with 3 other men hiking through mountains along the shoreline (very beautiful shoreline if I may add), and other unpleasant roads for 8 hours to get to this site. It is basically a submarine ship that was owned by the Germans but destroyed by the British during the last months of WWII. The Germans came to help their friends a.k.a. the Italians. Anyways, all the men in town said I couldn't do it cause I am a girl. But I did it and they were all SHOCKED. They send an army to find me cause we took longer then we anticipated. lol

New home

This traditional Somali home was build by a family after the Tsunami destroyed their home. 
Bender Beyla

Bender Beyla - Tsunami damage

This is another boat that was destroyed by the Tsunami. There were little kids that were using it as a toy house. They seemed to be happy unlike the owner who is unemployed and can no longer earn a living as a fisherman.

Bender Beyla

This is a picture of Bender Beyla, one of the town most affected by the Tsunami. I absolutely enjoy being here cause you have the ocean, mountains and beautiful weather (unlike Bososo which is 40+ all the time-lord I don't think any place could get hotter then there). Although there is not much talk about assisting those individuals that were affected by the Tsunami in Africa, there are funds allocated to Beyla and other towns of the coasts. Most of the work is starting to take shape now. Most of the projects that will take place include rebuilding homes and getting the fishermen new equipments (since most of them lost all of their equipments in the sea). There are also other projects being done such as road constructions. WFP also operates there (actually it no longer does because the foods for those people are being withheld by Pirates-shame on them)
