| 7th August 2009 Cathy | Oh No......not Goodbye!! - From: Goodbye Hey Kim, You are an amazing writer and I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed ever single word of every single entry. The way you described your experiences made me feel like I was there with you and both Bert and I looked forward to each day often asking "have you read Kim's blog yet?". Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for such a gift, that's what this journal was for us.....something to look forward to everyday - Holy, what are we going to read now?! See you soon I hope, C |

| 26th July 2009 Chris Schroeder | - From: Scrunchies, toilets and another "just produced" baby Hello Mzungo, how are you I am pine! Thanks for the updates, wish we were there! 4 more days until baby! |
| 20th July 2009 Jackie | Hi - From: Newcomers Kim, you are so brave! I admire you. |
| 13th July 2009 Christel | The good, the bad and the very drunk - From: This is how I almost died... Hi kim Sounds like life goes on in Africa land. So nice to read your blogg, and it is such a nice change to looking at the words of my project. As for the project itself it is feels like being stuck in quicksand. You can't get out and time is ticking!!! Oh well, now I have done nearly all of my interviews so now it is just up to me to wrap it all up to a readible thing! This weekend we had a massive party will all kinds of people joining in. The good, the bad and the very drunk. we started off at 6 in the afternoon on friday and Stian pulled the fuse to the wirlpool at 7 on Sunday morning. Luckly knowbody had made any mess in the house, so after clearing up the mess, we just took out the power hoose and cleaned up the paving. It was great fun though... this weekend we are off to Oslo for a mini break. Enjoy the rest of your stay, doing fieldwork. Sounds so exciting. And I must congratulate you on your Swahili. You are a wizz!!! Oh and please do not let yourself get run over by cars.... Take care girl See you soon Christel |
| 12th July 2009 secret lives of Mazula don Allen | enjoy tanzania - From: Back from nowhere wow, that was such an experience to face, you know things have meaning because they have opposites and so is the situtation you are in at your time in tanzania.little did you know things like that exist, well they do and there are plenty more, funny thing is , you cant do anything about it, thats how the world iiiiiiiis. ok enjoy your stay in my way be okay |
| 11th July 2009 Brad | Hey Kim - From: This is how I almost died... It sounds very crazy over there. Not your exactly your common "sitting on a beach drinking pina coladas" vacation hey? Are there many tourists that frequent the town you are in? Those pictures that you posted of the labs don't make them out to be too high tech...maybe it was just the angle the pic was taken at... Are you going to have any time to get out on a safari or do a little non-philanthropy-related travel in the area? Perhaps pick me up those blood diamonds I have been so patiently awaiting? Things are going good back here, except for the level of strangeness in the meals that Mom and Dad eat is steadily increasing. I think by the end of summer we will be eating 100% tofu and lentils...on a completely unrelated note I have been eating out much more frequently. Oh, and Ty smashed up his nose when he allegedly swam into a pool wall while he was swimming laps sober at 10am; nobody around here believes the story through. We are convinced that there is more to the story because we all know that Ty doesn't wake up until 1pm. Anyways, keep writing and posting pictures. We miss you back here. |
| 9th July 2009 Suncoast | What an eye opener!! - From: Back from nowhere All I can say is wow Kim, thanks for keeping us all posted. It's hard to imagine that these conditions exist in the world today. Keep up the good work. |
| 9th July 2009 erla | Hello - From: Back from nowhere Hey it's great to read your blog! I also have quite a sore bum from bumpy rides :) Sounds like it's a great experience though....They were quite keen to get everything done here, i was sent to the field an hour after i arrived without really having anytimes to prepare....I only spent a week in the field and now i'm back in the city, I'm trying to make sense of the data which just seems like a big mess now....Good luck and have fun, when are you back in London ? x erla |
| 6th July 2009 ksollis | Photos - From: So this is field work... I know it's a whole lot of boring writing but I'll put photos up as soon as there's a fast enough internet connection. It takes about ten minutes just to load a page right now!!! |
| 29th June 2009 Jamie | - From: Africa: Day 4 Wow, it's a whole different world. Congrats on the swahili - I know what you mean about the sense of accomplishment; I just took a Japanese course! How long are you in Africa? And are you actually staying in a Treehouse? |
