natural beauty

Eastern DRC is stunning. I thought I'd share some of the local beauty with you. Am not feeling very motivated to write in depth today.

A view of lake Kivu.

This was taken on the way to Don Bosco Ngangi - another location of Salesians, 20 km from Goma, where over 4,000 displaced persons have been sheltered since the fighting last autumn. This is also the home of a vocational school to over 200 students, an orphanage, a residence for widows and a medical centre. The black in the photo is the path of the lava flow from the last eruption of the volcano in the background.

A Crested Crane, one of two we came across on our way to a meeting.

These two have an incredible song and I see them every morning in our compound.

This one was in the garden eating grubs.
Will have to look it up when I get home, but a stunning bird!
