Through the ages, Nyero rock paintings

Some 3000 years ago a group of people wondered around the area of Kumi. They sheltered and lived around the Nyero rocks. At that time the people had not yet been ´saved´ to believe in one god and his son Jesus Christ, but likely worshipped the ...

Counting stars

With new material comes new expertise. In order to push my skills of photography, I tried capturing part of the night skies here in Eastern Africa. I really enjoy watching the stars in general, but here it’s even more beautiful! No light pollution ...

Plastic surgery, paediatrics and ... ants

This week was very interesting. My interests in paediatrics and plastic surgery both got stimulated. I worked on the paediatrics ward, where I learned more about malaria, sickle cell disease and malnutrition. Also I saw a boy with megacephalus (big ...

From dusk till dawn, adventure with the fellowship

Today I find myself, like many mornings here, waking up before my alarm, when the rooster shouts and the birds chirp behind my window that the sun has come. I roll over one more time until I get up to start the adventure of the day. We will visit an ...

First day, the fire

I wake up at 7:00h, enjoy the breakfast of bread, egg and tea, and walk 10-15min to the hospital terrain. Here people gather inside the chapel, all employers are expected but not obligated to join in the daily assembly. We start praising the Lord ...

The guesthouse and more guests than expected

At the guesthouse I am welcomed by a few chickens and Ann, lady of the guesthouse who lives across the guesthouse in a traditional house (round, grass roof). The exception to tradition is that her walls and floor are from stone instead of mud, wood ...

The ride

During the evening and night the power shut down, and the generator kicked in, finished its fuel, was refilled, and finished once more. So at 05:00am I wake up in a completely dark guesthouse without electricity. With my flashlight I manage to pack ...

Arrival

The plane from Dubai to Entebbe arrives delayed, perhaps to get me prepared for the relativity of time. This time-topic will probably pop-up some more in the upcoming stories. During my flight I am able to catch up some sleep, though little. The ...
