http://kristeewatson.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth. Sunday, August 30, 2009. My Day as a Vet's Assistant. O nly in Congo would I be participating in the neutering of my kittens. And taking pictures! The boys have been peeing on everything lately, and I decided it was time they should be neutered. This was something I was hoping to put off, as I don't. I set up an "operating table" out on the. G process from the other vet. YIKES! If you are at all squeamish.don't scroll down. Just a James Bond Day.

Voice of Truth: What's New with FH Congo
http://kristeewatson.blogspot.com/2009/07/whats-new-with-fh-congo.html
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth. Monday, July 27, 2009. What's New with FH Congo. I find that working in Finance does not give me a lot to blog about. Sure I could tell you about the new spreadsheets I am working on or the Access Database that I am trying to create for Human Resources.but hey, who really wants to hear about that? However, since you sent me to "work" with Food for the Hungry, I guess I should keep you updated on what's going on in my "work" life. It is on the lake.

I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth. Sunday, August 30, 2009. Just a James Bond Day. Flying from Kalemie back to Bukavu with MONUC (UN Peacekeeping mission in Congo) means one of three things: flying direct from Kalemie to Bukavu, flying to Goma then to Bukavu, or the completely bizzare Bukavu via Entebbe (Uganda). You don't really know what you're gonna get till you check in at the MONUC airport. As we walked to the air plane, I realized that it was an Russian Antonov. Cool! Well in t...

Voice of Truth: May 2008
http://kristeewatson.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth. Friday, May 9, 2008. I learned from my friend Holly that there is a flower guy named Jean Paul. He makes his livelihood carrying a metal bucket full of beautiful flowers…on his head. And for $5 dollars (USD) I get a gorgeous bouquet of flowers every Saturday. Thursday, May 8, 2008. I think I mentioned it in a previous post, but I thought I would tell you a bit about the animal gang living at my house. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Bukavu, Democratic R...

I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth. Monday, June 30, 2008. Gorillas in the Mist. OKthere were gorillas, but no mist. I took the opportunity on Sunday to join my friend James (SIS from UK/FH) and his father John to go see the gorillas at the Par National de Kahuzi-Biega an hour and a half outside. Bukavu. Gorilla watching is something I have always wanted to do. You can see them in Uganda, Rwanda or Congo but it is cheaper in Congo and from what I have been told, much better. After an ...

I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth. Monday, July 14, 2008. Rest and Relaxation: Lions and Tigers and Bears.oh my! OK…there were no tigers or bears, but there were lions. Two of them! It was in a field of Oribe, that we saw the male lion. We had stopped and Eric jumped out of the vehicle and climbed on the roof and said there was a lion. He could tell by the behaviour of the Oribe. We kept going and saw a group of three elephants. The one kept looking straight at me. An. The landscape ...

And what a year it has been. When I arrived in Entebbe last year, I thought I would be spending 3 years in Kampala doing some sort of finance job and spending as much time as I could with my friends in Bufukhula. A year later and I sometimes don’t recognize my own life. Congo? Who would have thought? Spending time in Bufukhula.

Voice of Truth: Christmas in July
http://kristeewatson.blogspot.com/2009/07/christmas-in-july.html
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth. Wednesday, July 29, 2009. When I was in Kampala in May I bought a whole bunch of stuff to bring back to Bukavu. Stuff you can't buy here or you can if you are willing to give up an arm and a leg. Things like cereal and cat food and yarn and jam and ketchup and pasta. The list goes. On Plus, my mom sent me a ton of stuff with my dad: books and yarn and cotton face pads, etc. Ed with all my goodies. Opening the bag and box. Look at all the great stuff.

Voice of Truth: Sunday Excitement
http://kristeewatson.blogspot.com/2009/07/sunday-excitement.html
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth. Monday, July 27, 2009. Turned out that part of the massive eucalyptus tree in the MSF (Médecins Sans Frontières - Doctors Without Borders) compound next door had fallen over the brick wall into our compound. It was kind of comical. There was no wind, no warning it was going to fall. And it was huge. There is a gate down to the lake.but you wouldn't be able to tell from the photo's.
