Some photos that illustrate some points.

The first one is on the edge of a displaced camp in Northern Uganda. If you look carefully you can see five sets of latrines. Fair enough, but they seem to be from five different generations or at least five different NGOs ... subtly different styles and no doubt incorporated into annual reports. Makes you wonder doesn't it? What exactly are the indicators for the success of a latrine. Who will dare to measure them?




While we are on that I have often wondered if pupils are the beneficiaries of a school and patients are the beneficiaries of a hospital who are the beneficiaries of a prison?















This shade is for the baby sitters and the 126 babies of our 125 young women doing catch-up courses. This is one of the most effective ways to get the youjng women back into education. Contact asutai@yahoo.com for more information.













Do you know what this is all about? In many places a child 'qualifies' to start school if he can touch his ear like this.













This is oone of the youth radios I work on. This one within the War Child Canada project in Baraka DRC. This is before WCC added some more professional equipment - but still it broadcasts and youth get great experience. We also trained the youth in presentation, technical matters and peer education.
