Life

I went away for a week to work in Pietarsaari, what a beautiful old city in the coast! Exploring Finland, time is running, and things happen so fast. I've realized again that life can be very surprising sometimes, you just need to keep your eyes and heart open. Again I have a change of a plan going on, gladly I'm still remaining with some alphabets! Looks like I'm going to stay in Finland for some time longer, am I happy about it? Well, to be honest I would love to be under the sun somewhere warm and nice, but I'll work on a proper plan first so then I'm free to go.

Sometimes pictures tell more than words

Training farmers about heat detection. I was told here that every 9 cows out of 10 are not giving any signs of heat and are on silent heat.. We all know that´s not possible. So we went through the signs again and reminded the farmers that heat detection is one of the most important works in their farms. No calves, no milk.  Introducing a very simple and easy to use "heat calender" for the same group of farmers that were getting the training about heat detection. That´s my pilot group working with this calender. I am looking forward for the feedback on it´s usage and later will introduce it to more farmers if it seems to work out well. The only problem is that not all farmers are able to read, especially the elderly farmers so this comes out handy only for those who are able to read.  Teaching our community animal health worker to crab a cow for deworming.  With these Malawian cows you need to really strong!! No matter how small jerseys they are. Must sa...

good morning and welcome

so I've finally decided to open my own blog, I try my best to keep it updated. This time I'm still in Finland, but soon I will start a new journey. The summer has been great, I'm glad I came home to spend it with my friends and family. I went away for one month, but that time was really good for me, I took a deep look inside myself and got many answers, learned a lot about myself. Now I feel the cold wind blowing so I think it's time to move away from the winter and find some sun :) but it still takes some time, hopefully i can go on september.

Smiles and losses

The weekend has been just great! I´ve been out a lot to see Mzuzu, getting to know new people and I´ve really enjoyed it. People are friendly and happy, they smile a lot and smile is always good for you. I think we should smile much more at home, we often let little things bother us too much. Nightlife is all about dancing and I must say it´s a very good exercise to do. Today I read the news from Tohmajärvi, Finland where a cowhouse was on fire and 40 cows died. It´s terrible, no one should have to face such tragedy. It also brought my thoughts to a farmer whom I went to see on Friday. She had one cow, her livelihood is pretty much depending on that one cow. The cow was a nice jersey cow, she had well kept “khola” (the “cowhouse”, will get you pictures later). Everything seemed to be in good order. Unfortunately the cow had been sick for a month now and on Friday morning it had died. It had been treated 3 times during the sickness but there is continues shortage on animal drugs. ...
