Anyone know how to download these one at a time as a jpeg that I can use on my 'One Goat Per child?'
Eddy I certainly hope that is the Worst house in your village - it is going to fall down if you ever get any winds - how do they stay dry in the monsoons - are there many more like him? It would help to know if this is a pressing problem in the village - and how many people need help. The community to help as a group - like we did in the old midwest - when all the towns people would come together to do a 'house raising' or build a young couple a new house. Let us know more about the conditions. thanks
I really cant say that this is the worst because i have seen some others which are in more critical and appealing conditions than that one .Yes it can fall down any time even with some strong winds ,and unfortunately that is where the children stay !!.
And perhaps there are far pressing issues and problems in this village than housing it self(shelter) like getting basic needs like education ,food,water,medical care especially for those who are infected with AIDS,among others .
So here so long as "at least they have some where to put their heads down and rest at night","they may not say that its their most pressing problem at the moment".
In Africa ,those early days presented a community or village with a lot of cohesion and togetherness that people used to care a lot about the others and easily gave help.Now days its difficult to bring about unity least enough to help one another as build a house , i cant really say it can work though there is some loose unity .
I have heard this before - that it is so difficult today to bring communities together because each person/family is fighting to stay alive. how can we help them change this attitude - maybe start with 2 families who have enough young men that they can help each other rebuild both their houses? What is easiest/cheapest to get for the roof? I will look up today how to make roofs with logs, hemp and banana leaves - I believe you all have them. And, I know how important food is, Eddy, but I also think they need to stay healthy enough to plant and harvest food. I think it is important for people to become used to Working together so they can also help each other in the fields? What does everyone think?
Virginia, re copying the photo’s from the Nabuur site: if you right click on each photo and save it – it will save as a .bmp file. You can then open the file in a photo editing programme & save it as .jpeg (at least this is how it works on my PC)
Eddy- I was alarmed to see the much protruded stomachs of the three children in this post. I believe that is usually a sign of severe malnutrition. Are all the children malnourished? There must be some very long term health effects for them

Thanks Carolyn! I don't have a right click - I assume if i update my mouse - even though I have a mac, that will do the trick?) otherwise I'll just have a PC user right click them and send them to me - thanks!
The distended bellies could well be because of worms!!! most of the kids there are not given de-worming medicine, which is usually free at the local clinics - Jen has already raised the question and asked Eddy - it seems the children need de-worming twice a year
Hi Eddy,
Please do see if worms can be part of the issue with the children's distended bellies. They can get medicine, pills, from the local health clinic. How far are these children located from a health clinic? Can someone bike to the clinic and get the pills for all the children? Also....what do the children eat daily. About how much of each food? How often do they go without any food at all?
Esther - it seems to me we might need to add a Nabuur project on health and nutrition. I know we have been talking about getting the children more ntrition from the goats milk, goat cheese and better farming (no-till) techniques. What else needs to be addressed on health, Eddy? How can we help you?
Hi Ginger,you can actually use the your keyboard to right click, all you need to do is;
1. Your key board has two ctrl ( command for mac) buttons on it? One on the right of the key board and one one the left, before the four navigation arrows. If yes...
2. Next to the right hand ctrl button, while moving leftwards, there is a button with a small arrow to it, (not enter button or shift), that button can work as a right click for you, all you need to do is select anything you want to work on and, press that button.
3. since you are using a mac, then to right click, use control + left click.
I hope you will manage.
Jennifer,
Here we have only one clinic at a distant, however, it's over congested and in most the medicine is insufficient due to high population in the area.some time you may visit the clinic when drugs are not there. so you are most likely to drive for 20 kms up to kamuli town or jinja main hospital.
Sometimes other have one meal a day so the life is a bit hard.
Eddy.

Thanks to Tia Bowring's donation, 4 new goats were purchased. John made some photos of the distribution of those goats.
