Today is the day I'm giving a seminar to the college at Wondo. I am speaking on Urban and Community Forestry in the U.S. It will be interesting to see who really attends. I'm sure our concept of CF is quite different from the one in Ethiopia. They really utilize their forests. Not an easy job to protect them from abuse. Needs are great here. However, while in Awassa yesterday, I saw many good attempts at boulevard plantings of palm trees.
My camera lens is not working well. Sadly, I can't get the wide angle to work on the zoom. Something inside is jamming. I don't want to risk taking apart to attempt a repair for fear I may really ruin it. So, I will be satisfied with about 40mm to 200 mm. At times I can't even get to 200. No opportunity to purchase a different lens here.
Tomorrow we head back to Addis and then on Saturday morning we fly to Kenya. Again, not sure what type of email coverage we will have there while on safari.
That is all for now.
Phil
