See end of this post for more info on what the charity [...]

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009Hi,
Further to my earlier posts/articles/photos from my trip to Kenya, I just watched a a recent video from CNN highlighting the effects of drought on the Samburu tribes in that country. The area focused on by the video is not far from where I visited in September 2009 (Isiolo, in Eastern Province). I thought [...]
Orphaned children in Ugandan village
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009This is an extremely compelling and impactful video. I urge you to watch this. There are children all over Africa who have been orphaned by civil war or tribal conflict or AIDS or famine and become the ‘head’ of their households, …taking care of their brothers and sisters, when they themselves are barely old enough [...]

Thursday, September 24th, 2009Hey everyone,
I just got back from my trip to the Northern Hemisphere! I hadn’t realised when we left Nairobi four days ago that we would be crossing the Equator on our journey to northern Kenya! I should really brush up on my geography…

As we left Nairobi early on Sunday morning, our [...]

Saturday, December 6th, 2008This visit to Ethiopia has been absolutely amazing, inspiring, saddening, heart-wrenching and humbling all at the same time. It’s hard to describe these experiences, but I’m going to try my best. Telling you how I feel about these is even more difficult, I need to reflect before I can try to share those….
So where do [...]
The local Ethiopian crew
Friday, December 5th, 2008I’ve mentioned this before on my blog and I’ll mention it again… more and more I find myself becoming a traveler intent on socio-cultural experiences rather than historical, political and geographical ones. Essentially I find my travels are becoming less about visiting touristic sites, or touring the country, or hitting all the “must-see” destinations listed [...]

Thursday, December 4th, 2008Hello folks, I’m writing to you from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia where I’ve decided to spend the UAE National Day / Eid-al-Adha (Festival of the Sacrifice of the lamb) holidays with my girlfriend.
