Pictures, as promised!

Since it's been ten days, I'll just put these pictures in a new post so you don't have to go back and check the other post. These are of the trip South to Baraka on Lake Tanganyika.
This is our new Seed Land Cruiser! We couldn't have made the trip without it.

I am sobered every time we pass through this community.

Beautiful countryside!

Poor road conditions...

The view from my hotel in Baraka. See Lake Tanganyika hiding?

The hill in the distance is a peninsula sticking into the lake. This is the land where our partner is growing maize for feeding their dairy cows.


Serge hard at work at the pump...until you look closely. ;)

Source of water for the dairy farm in case the rain supply runs out

Lake Tanganyika, looking out to the same peninsula

Same place as the previous picture; I just turned around 180 degrees

The group on the trip! L to R: Tresor (partner), Serge, Moses (Seeder), Safari (chauffer), Mariam (Seeder), and in front is the agronomist for the partner organization.

  1. OK, I'll bite. How come the pump was chained closed?

    1. Very perceptive! I'm not sure, but I think they only open it up for a few hours each morning and afternoon - something like that.
