Best Powered Paraglider

















To finally get out of this dirty town last weekend went to Bilene, a beach in Gaza province, north of Maputo. A couple of volunteers and what in my organization.
to buy on the street gabs tasty fish. Unlike other weird animals in which I'm not quite sure if I would buy food from the street and saw the fish but from all delicious and so he has fortunately gechmeckt evening too!



on the beach have come again and again street children who sell us something, or wanted money. We have talked with a few. In particular, the knowledge of a Changana-Mitfreiwilligen they were very impressive (in the provinces of Maputo and Gaza Changana is spoken further north not more).




was definitely a great weekend even without stinking Chapas, the one in the morning to blow their black exhaust fumes in the face.




A week before I was with my host mother in Swaziland. A land fairly close, but yet very different. Quiet, neat, clean (there's even trash!), Cars stop at crosswalks, etc. But still, people are really poor, Maputo is too expensive for the people there, so all Mozambicans go to shop for Swaziland. We visited the sister of my host mother. Which has only a very small room, and a toilet with more than 10 other families together (as at night was cheerful Eimerpissen announced, because it is in Swaziland too dangerous to go out ...) and no running water. But still one has the feeling that everything is not unreasonable. It is how it is. It is no longer in Mozambique because it is impossible to find a job there. In Swaziland, there are some Chinese garment factories, which provide many Mozambicans work.



Oh ... Green is also Swaziland. And it took me totally confused that people suddenly speak English. With the English of Swaziländer much worse than the Portuguese of Mozambique is. Actually have all entertained the whole weekend to Swat, so I again did not understand anything ...





is otherwise of everyday life here has returned. Twice a week I work in Boan, 30 km from Maputo, and the remaining days in Maputo. On weekends one can always find enough parties where there is no shortage here. Yesterday we went to Dalila, a friend. Grilled, made music, nice sat together. That's always nice again.

The guitar may never actually be missing, the others are traditional instruments. The right are Dalila, Helder and me. Both are good friends. Dalila is the way also my confidant here at Ajude, the partner organization. Since I was lucky. You have to thank her for the moment and the long post from me because she brought me here with her taken into Ajudebüro. You have to work today and what I have to go so even the possibility to correct the internet and not being under time pressure. Also has something.

D2nt How Dont Skipcruise



Now I'm so excited by the possibility to upload pictures that I putting in my mail again and instead here's what to add.

now time the whole family. As my host mother has bought a new phone, what was so interesting that they all gathered around have ... The mobile phone is now, after a fit of jealousy of her boyfriend, broke ... From left: Vivi (18), Glenda (5), Mama Celina, Junior (6) and Ed (11). All the children say, by the way Mana Hannah to me, which means sister Hannah
Last week we had in our street a water pipe burst. The result was that two days running incessantly water from this hole that was missing in our course, then. More than a trickle, we did not get in the house from the tap ...
And here they have started the water areas to stop and then a little hineinzuschaufeln sand so that it flows out in only one direction through streets dei ...
Today I've started
in another project to work for two days a week. Our task here is to visit families in which one or more members are HIV positive. There, we then check whether the drugs are taken properly and people regularly go to the hospital. All this usually runs into Changana or Ronga, but my colleague, I translated the conversation in Portuguese. This works quite well and people are looking forward to total, if I told you then Changana, at least say goodbye. However, I have to go to work this morning and a half hours because it is in another district. Until now, however, it is interesting.
On the day of German unity, we came Mozambican nice too late. Have missed the hymn and the speech, but purely carved at the bar and the good Weisswuersten and other delicacies. The ambassador lives there alone in a huge house. Somehow abnormal in a country like Mozambique ...

How Soon Can I Take A Bath After



images images images


Soso, now that the whole photo paraphernalia is done and I become a super-duper cable ownership, and in my work were spared to the PC, is now finally a few Photos !!!!!
This is our house. Three of my four host siblings. Junior (front, 6), Glenda (after, 5) and Vivi (Back, 18). The Vivi here has the job of Empregada, which is sort of a housekeeper. Pretty funny, where she is at my age .... It is not the daughter, but the niece of my host mother (as well as Glenda, who lives here because their parents are dead). The two kids can be so real nuisance, but are actually quite cute ... The day they turned up because I've unpacked my photo ... I share my room with Vivi and Glenda, the place in the evening ne mattress on the floor and sleep there.

only once .... for the small color difference, if someone my beauty in my profile picture could not perform all ...


my beautiful and very bed. And not to despise my "door" left behind in the picture!

Here we gather the last Saturday finally even our clothing donations. Actually had to happen that would leave on Thursday, but since our boss because NEN really bad hangover we could not go. The next day another was so offended and did not come and finally we made it on Saturday. But we were not anywhere where we would have to be. But after all these clothes and hats where there are still more. Tomorrow, we begin to wash the clothes - by hand, mind you ...
Well, I'm otherwise fine so far. Since I now know that it works here, there is perhaps even more often, especially since I just did not take pictures of the landscape, or the city or so hab. But you just can not have it all ...
On Friday we move into the house from the native German Ambassador times to celebrate the Day of German Unity - apparently with really good German food!
