Mopipi

This is now the second week already that I have spent in this place. It is quite an interesting place as you can see from the pictures I’ve uploaded.

Very salty, dry, windy, at times cold and desolate. People are friendly most of the time and I’ve made some friends.

Next week I will be doing something else than household surveys, which is a relief. It is quite boring to go to 140 households and ask the same questions over and over again. But we are already on 87 of the 140, that is a big relief. Next week I will be measuring the availability of firewood in the area with some people from the University of Botswana.

I’ve started a little side project with some locals. We are trying to build a solar cooker out of soda cans. Have to attend these people, so just take a look at the pictures (at the right of this post). And I’ll update you next week again.
