Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Zambia

So, way behind on posting, took a three-week work trip to Mozmabique, Zimbabwe and Zambia to visit project sites in June. Managed to include a tour of Maputo and a trip to Victoria Falls in Zambia Chobe National Park in Botswana. A few pictures from the projects and visits below:

Not so Sweet

Great time in New Orleans and wonderful to see so many Hogs on Bourbon Street, but not such a great outcome on the game for those Razorbacks...

Stache Bash 2010

Thank you for your donations to National Children's Medical Center. Mustaches for Kids raised over $56,000 for the hospital and Spanky raised over $7,400. A few pictures from the annual Stache Bash:

Uganda, Zambia and Mozambique

I had a three week trip - about one week in each country - at the end of November/beginning of December. It was a great trip and I'd love to return to all three countries

MOZAMBIQUE

I went to Mozambique to attend a conference so I'll just show a few views of the pool and beach - managed to get in one day by the pool before the rains came...

ZAMBIA

The trip to Zambia was to monitor a program implemented by Land O'Lakes so more pictures of markets and food commodities - just what you always wanted to see! :)

View from Hotel - such beautiful trees in Zambia!

UGANDA

I went to Uganda to attend a workshop, but those pictures are pretty boring so I'll spare you. I did take a short two-day safari with a game drive and a boat trip on the Nile River in the Murchison Falls National Park.

Malawi and Tanzania

A few pictures from my recent trip in September to Malawi and Tanzania. USDA provided funding to the World Food Program (WFP) to purchase food locally for distribution through their feeding programs in Malawi and Tanzania. We visited the programs to check on progress so met with many of the farmers that sold food to WFP and visited distribution sites. Both programs are going well and it was a really interesting trip.
