She bore 3 male and 1 female. 2 of the males are white, most likely to turn tan/yellow. Here is the runt followed by the big boy.
The other male is tri colored, like his mom and has a wave on his head. The little girl is the darkest one but will also be tri color.
Mphatso takes very good care of them, they are living in our kitchen. When I saw them last there eyes were still closed.
We headed south of Sharpevale to Liwonde National Park. We visited two current volunteers then the next day headed up to the North end of the park to look at it as a potential third year placement and assignment.
One of the volunteers has a flame tree in her front yard… they are in full bloom this time of year.
We would live inside the park gate, with the families of the scouts. Here is the gate…
The compound of housing
One of the houses. No electricity or running water. Tile roof, two bedroom and a living room. Each house has their own chim and detached kitchen. We would have to watch for elephants and the troublesome monkeys. While sitting chatting with a women’s group outside the gate I saw two different kind of sun birds! Lots of wild life!
The work is endless… The women’s group, the scouts wives, the scouts themselves, the surrounding villages (mainly elephant problems), the two cultural lodges, and Mvuu Camp/lodge just across the shire river. A lot of work can be done, we will just have to decide what we want to do… I like the idea of working with the women’s group and the scouts wives… Anyway, we talked of moving as soon as February… it will depend on our current site, when we feel like the projects seem sustainable and such…
We stopped to take photos of the baobob flowers in full bloom
