Yes, I'm still alive

I will try again, my attemps to write blog regularly seem to fail over and over again. Is it laziness? Lack of interest? Maybe I've been just tired? I would love to say that "oh, you know, I've been so busy with this and that, my life is too hectic, no time for blogging!" Yeah, right.. like my life would ever be too hectic for few words. So the result I made: Pure laziness. I think that suits me the best. You can do thousand things, but to write a few words to your blog, you can always leave it for later. So forgive me and again, I will try my best, but don't expect too much from this. Appreciate you reading this, because those e-mails you're going to wait even more longer! :)

So what's up today? Surprised I may sound a little apathetic? Come to Finland for few days now and I am pretty sure you will not sound so happy either. It's normal, the winter comes, the darkness comes, the struggle begins.. But hey, even Bob Marley once said: The struggle is not over, until the battle is won! So there will be sunshine after all, after many more months, but it's there! Just got to stay strong. And remember to take the vitamins.

Saturday I'm off to Copenhagen and from there to Malmö. Feeling really excited about this trip! Going to meet some old friends back from the time in Denmark and Africa. It brings a lot of good memories back to my mind, even in the middle of all this darkness and cold, puts a little smile on my face, just thoughts about those times. If you have a little time to spare, see this video I found today.. I really like the song playing on the background and it was great to see some familiar faces, so everyone from Humana times, keep your eyes open!

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.

Exploring Lilongwe

Greetings from the sunny side of the earth! Where should I start from.. Well, my flight finally arrived to Lilongwe and this is where I have been ever since. We started with the real intense and busy In-Country training week. We had sessions about quite a range of subjects, including for example security and culture in Malawi, not forgetting the corruption, HIV/AIDS and health issues and general understanding about the sustainable development in Malawi. Most of all I enjoyed our chitumbuka lessons which is the local language we are going to use in the North of Malawi. It was so much fun and we pretty much covered the basics during the first week, greetings and how to get lower prices at the market, very essential. The training week ended on Saturday with a meeting with our employer, Edward the manager himself seemed such a nice person, I am sure we are going to get along well. So about the situation now. Since we are in Africa, delays and miscommunication is normal and not really surpr...
