Our flat

We live in a quite nice flat after we moved from the first one 1. april. So this is our place until the mission  is complete...

Our building from ground and main entrance. Looks nice and simple

Our house has a very good standard and it was significantly cheaper than the previous place

The place is just built which is great, but the downside is no generator temporarily. So WHEN, not if, the power cuts we are left to the heat.

At the moment it is about 35 degrees. But that goes to 40-45degrees on a hot day. The house feels like a sauna, without power. And I would literally sweath as if in a sauna. To sleep is more like swimming in bed. So this causes problems for work efficiancy some days.

Lower down you can see my bedroom with the mosquito net on alert. I hate sleeping with buzzing around my head. So I am addicted to mosquito net. There is not much Malaria or Dengue Fever in this region, so if I did not mind the stings and itch, one can sleep without the net.

"Knock some wood..."

The two last pictures is the view from my bedroom window and the last picture is the view from the roof in the direction of the sunset.


So now you have seen our "base". In only four weeks we are finished here and head for home.

See you soon my fellow Red Cross`ers, friends and family :)
