Back from the land of sand, cows and heat











Sounds really fun, doesn't it? Well I'm back from the field part of my work as of yesterday. My sorry-ass had to get up so early every day and you know it killed me. But for these things (consultancies) you have to sacrifice and work 14+ hour days with minimum breaks throughout the day. It's something that is doable for a short period of time... 10 days to 14 days but after that, you gotta change things up a bit. Usually most of the field work is done in this amount of time and then you get back and try and make sense of all the information you saw in the field.
These pictures are of the following: two of the landscape so you can really sense the bleak landscape and why these people are generally marginalized; one of me and the Maternity, Child, Health and Nutrition program officer at one of the river crossing with barge in background; and two women managing a warehouse of US-donated commodity for direct feeding.
I'm doing a mid-term project evaluation for a food distribution project in the north of Senegal.
speaking of which, I'm on the clock and need to get back to work but wanted to share some pictures. will check in soon.
