			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello!<br />
Hier een eerste verslagje van de eerste week in Uganda!</p>
<p>Vorige zaterdag zijn we aangekomen rond 14u, we zijn lang onderweg geweest, maar ethiopian airlines was een goeie vlieugtuigmaatschappij! Khad voor de Michiel nog een suprise cake voor z&#8217;n verjaardag aangevraagd en da was echt geweldig, heel de crew kwam zingen en we kregen champie &#038; taart! Verder hebben we die dag niet meer gedaan, het was ook nog eens een goei uur rijden naar de residentie en eer we dan geinstalleerd waren en rondleiding hadden gehad was het al tijd voor BBQ! Het is hier echt een mooi huis, het personeel is wel even wennen maar das hier de normaalste zaak van de wereld. </p>
<p>Zondag hebben we wat uitgeslapen en dan ingepakt voor de de eerste roadtrip. Ook nog even gaan rondrijden, wat couleur local gaan opsnuiven. Het is hier echt heel anders, veel armoede zie je hier toch nog in de hoofdstad, traffic is echt zot, ik waag me er niet aan zenne! Maar de natuur is hier echt fantastisch, zo groen! Wat dan ook weer betekent dat het vveel regent hier, het is hier wel warm, zo&#8217;n 27 graden maar in de namiddag kan het hier even beginnen storten, ni normaal, en dan is de zon er terug <img src='http://www.psyked-out.com/word/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  ’s Avonds zijn we gaan eten in Le Chateau, een Belgisch resto, onder een strooien dak , echt lekker, daarvoor moet je dus in Uganda zijn <img src='http://www.psyked-out.com/word/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Maandag zijn we om 8u vertrokken naar Kibale Forest, daar sliepen we 2 dagen  in Chimps Nest in het midden van de rainforest! Onderweg hebben we gestopt om te picknicken en de eerste aapjes gezien, de Colobus Monkey. Onderweg weer veel couleur local gezien, de enthousiasme van de mensen hier is wel aanstekelijk. Iedereen zwaait en op den duur begin je zelf naar iedereen te zwaaien, vooral de kindjes zijn geweldig! In chimps nest hadden we een family cottage met 2 kamers en een salonneke voor ons vieren. De cottage stond in het midden van de rainforest in het moeras, het zat dus vol boomkikkers en vogeltjes enzo… ik heb snachts toch wel wat schrik gehad, leve de oorstopjes! We moesten 5 mins wandelen naar de cottage, snachts kregen we begeleiding voor de veiligheid en het warm water moest speciaal opgewarmd worden en in de bak boven de douche gekapt worden!</p>
<p>Dinsdag hebben we smorgens ne commumity walk gedaan in de buurt, echt de moeite, hebben ook een schooltje bezocht, da was echt fantastisch. Charlotte &#038; ik hebben moeten meedansen, maar afrikaanse dans was ni onze specialiteit! Daarna was het de Chimp tracking, een van de highlights, maar toen we wilden vertrekken met de gids begon het keihard te regenen. Even gewacht dus maar en dan waren we weg in het regenwoud. We hoorden de chimps op enige afstand, maar dan is het terug begin regenen, en zo hard had ik nog nooit gezien!! Iedereen was doorweekt, maar dankzij de poncho die ik van rosita mocht lenen J viel het dan toch nog mee, schoenen en broek waren de enige schade, maar  het  heeft toch 2 dagen geduurd voor ze droog waren! Maar enfin we hebben ze gezien de chimps, al was het hoog in de bomen!! Moest het niet geregend hebben was het echt een geweldige ervaring geweest.</p>
<p>Woensdag zijn we doorgereden naar Queen Elisabeth national park (QENP), safari!! Een 6 uur rijden en de evenaar overgestoken! We waren nog niet echt in het park door de main gate en ik had al olifanten gespot! Dan onze campsite gaan bekijken, Charlotte en ik zagen het daar niet echt zitten, naar toilet gaan was niet te doen, de douche was openlucht en viel opzich nog wel mee. Maar dan hetgeen waarvan ik echt bijna in m’nn broek deed was dat de hippos er letterlijk graazden naast de tent snachts!! Nu weten jullie wel dat ik niet zo’n kampeerder ben, dus ik geef eerlijk toe dat op zich wel een schok was! We hebben dan nog maar eens onze opties bekeken, kamperen, hostel of supergrave lodge… De mannen wilden echt wel de grave nature experience dus compromis gesloten een nacht kamperen en nacht lodge dan maar J snachts heb ik echt doodsangsten doorstaan, michiel heeft bijna niet geslapen omdat hij zo bezorgd was en dan toch maar vigilante heeft gespeeld, maar wel superlief dus <img src='http://www.psyked-out.com/word/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Donderdag om 6u opgestaan voor early morning game drive waar we veel gespot hebben, wzterbok, wrattenzwijnen, uganda cobs, buffels, enz… maar de leeuwen wilden maar niet komen opdagen:-s volgende trip meer geluk hopelijk! Snamiddags dan nog nen boattrip gedaan, ook veel hippos en buffels en giga veel vogeltjes gezien! En daarna naar de superdeluxe lodge. Nog even gezwommen en dan genoten van dinner buiten bij een opkomende maan boven het water, graaf!!</p>
<p>Vrijdag terug naar Kampala gereden, weer veel couleur local. Onderweg stoppen we even en zien daar ineens iemand dood neervallen op de grond, al die zwarten er rond, die mens ingewikkeld in doek en dan stonden ze er maar wat te kijken…een ambulance bellen is hier niet echt een optie dus… very weird. Savonds nog lekker eten klaargemaakt door de kok, mhh echt niet slecht!</p>
<p>Vandaag zaterdag dus naar the mission of the poor in kampala geweest, zij zetten zich in voor arme weeskindjes en gehandicapten. Echt schrijnend wat we daar zien hoor! Alle geluk zijn er die paterkes nog die zich voor hen  willen inzitten. Martine (mama van michiel) geeft daar ook een soort turnles in de week aan die kindjes, echt knap wat ze doet! Daarna ook nog een mis om nieuwe gebouwen in te huldigen, duurde zo’n 3 uur!! Alle chance was het niet zoals bij ons en werd er ook gospel gezongen en gedanst!</p>
<p>Voila dat was de eerste week al, hopelijk is het niet te veel maar dan is het ineens ook een dagboek voor mij <img src='http://www.psyked-out.com/word/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> sorry voor de fouten ook, ik typ hier qwerty </p>
<p>Tot volgende week, dan heb ik ineens er nog  2 roadtrips opzitten, naar murchison falls waar we nog 3 nachten kamperen en Kidepo waar we heen vliegen en eens in superluxe logeren </p>
<p>groetjes</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was just browsing the web on a rainy Sunday when I found <a href="http://www.foleysv.com/">this</a> site. A UK based company specialized in preparing Land Rovers for <a href="http://www.foleyspecialistvehicles.co.uk/index2.htm">overland</a> expeditions. Take this image for instance: a custom made 6&#215;6 overlander <img style="border: 0pt none;" src="../../images/smileys/wink.gif" alt="wink" width="19" height="19" /> how cool it that uh!?<br />
This is something that I’ve been dreaming about for years now: An overland expedition with a few friends and 2 or 3 vehicles. Starting in Antwerp and finish in Cape Town <img style="border:0;" src="http://www.belgiantrotter.com/images/smileys/wink.gif" alt="wink" width="19" height="19" /> And if that’s not enough, then the whole way back as well <img style="border:0;" src="http://www.belgiantrotter.com/images/smileys/wink.gif" alt="wink" width="19" height="19" /></p>
<p>Take <a href="http://www.thisfabtrek.com/home/tfthome.php">this guy</a> for instance, an Austrian guy who has been on the road for the last 3 years!!! He owns one of these <a href="http://www.thisfabtrek.com/land-rover/land-rover.php">6&#215;6 rovers</a>. He now is a freelance photographer during his more than extensive <a href="http://www.thisfabtrek.com/journey/journey.php">journey</a> <img src='http://www.psyked-out.com/word/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
Amazing!</p>
<p>I also found other “heroes” <img style="border:0;" src="http://www.belgiantrotter.com/images/smileys/wink.gif" alt="wink" width="19" height="19" /> on these sites:</p>
<ul>
<li>A <a href="http://www.duksjourney.net/index.htm">nice journey</a> of 2 people from Germany to South Africa and back</li>
<li>A <a href="http://www.exfoleyation.co.uk/route.htm">Brit and a south African</a> doing about the same route</li>
<li><a href="http://www.expeditionoverland.com/">Sandy and Michael</a> who have just finished their 2 years global tour</li>
<li>A <a href="http://www.southing.com/southamerica/blog/">couple</a> doing the South American continent: 22.000 km’s <img style="border:0;" src="http://www.belgiantrotter.com/images/smileys/wink.gif" alt="wink" width="19" height="19" /></li>
<li>A <a href="http://www.dutch-courage.net/index2.php">dutch couple</a> doing the whole world!</li>
</ul>
<p>You need a car like this with as less electronic switches as possible <img style="border:0;" src="http://www.belgiantrotter.com/images/smileys/smile.gif" alt="smile" width="19" height="19" /> (as <a href="http://www.duksjourney.net/Country Photo Pages/Congo/CongoPhotos.htm">these</a> images proof <img src='http://www.psyked-out.com/word/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> )<br />
And finally much to my surprise is that the same company offers <a href="http://www.foleyspecialistvehicles.co.uk/4x4.htm">RENTALS</a>! So you can rent a 4&#215;4 and starting planning your expedition <img style="border:0;" src="http://www.belgiantrotter.com/images/smileys/wink.gif" alt="wink" width="19" height="19" /></p>
<p>How cool is that!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At last I found a movie I was looking for!!! Before I continue, I should point out this movie was shot on location in Rwanda in the Summer of 2006. It was the last summer I was in Rwanda. My parents left at the end of that same year.<br />
In that summer they needed extras for the movie. They needed people to play soldier, scared ex pats wanting to return to Europe at the break of the conflict.</p>
<p>So after having to wait a long time for this Canadian movie to be released, I finally saw it! and Yes I have spotted myself <img style="border: 0pt none;" src="../../images/smileys/wink.gif" alt="wink" width="19" height="19" /></p>
<p>The movie itself is called <a title="Shake hands with the devil" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472562/" target="_blank">Shake hands with the devil</a>. Its a movie about the same titled book of <a title="Romeo Dallaire" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rom%C3%A9o_Dallaire" target="_blank">Romeo Dallaire</a>.<br />
Dallaire received his commission as the Force Commander of <a title="UNAMIR" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNAMIR" target="_blank">UNAMIR</a>, the United Nations Assistance MIssion for Rwanda. Rwanda had just emerged from civil war between the extremist <a title="Hutu population" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hutu" target="_blank">Hutu population</a> and a small <a title="Tutsi rebel faction" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tutsi" target="_blank">Tutsi rebel faction</a> operating from neighbouring Uganda—with the signing of the Arusha Accords. In fact, UNAMIR’s goal was to assist in the implementation of the Arusha Accords. The Hutus worked through the Rwandan army and then-president of Rwanda, <a title="Juvénal Habyarimana" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juv%C3%A9nal_Habyarimana" target="_blank">Juvénal Habyarimana</a>, and the Tutsis through the rebel commander <a title="Paul Kagame" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Kagame" target="_blank">Paul Kagame</a>, who is the president of Rwanda today. The conflict became a civil war when extremist Hutus began murdering Tutsis found inside Rwanda’s borders, as well as moderate Hutus who sympathized with the Tutsis. When Dallaire arrived in Rwanda, his mandate was to supervise the implementation of the Accords during a transitional period in which Tutsis were supposed to be given positions of power within the Hutu government.<br />

He wrote his awful experiences about the failing of the West to prematurely stop the genocide! It’s not a happy movie. In the same genre you could also watch: <a title="Hotel Rwanda " href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0395169/" target="_blank">Hotel Rwanda </a>(most commonly known of all), <a title="Shooting dogs" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0420901/" target="_blank">Shooting dogs</a> (I think one of the best) and <a title="Sometimes in April" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0400063/" target="_blank">Sometimes in April</a> (most shocking one).<br />
Shake hands with the devil was directed by <a title="Roger Spottiswoode" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006854/" target="_blank">Roger Spottiswoode</a> known for James Bond’s Tomorrow Never Dies and also Air America (an old one).</p>

<p><a title="Benetton" rel="tag" href="http://www.benetton.com" target="_blank">Benetton</a> puts the spotlight on entrepreneurial Africa. Its global communication campaign for 2008 promotes the <a rel="tag" href="http://www.birima.org/" target="_blank">Birima</a> micro-credit program in Senegal, a co-operative credit society founded by the Senegalese singer Youssou N’Dour. The programmer will also receive financial support from Benetton Group.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Africa Works</em></strong> &#8211; the slogan of the campaign developed by Fabrica &#8211; will appear on billboards and in the press throughout the world, from February 2008. It features Senegalese workers who have used micro loans to start small, productive businesses. Photographer James Mollison portrays them with the tools of their trade against a neutral background. They include, amongst others, a fisherman, a decorator, a musician, a jewellery-maker, a farmer, a tailor, two textile sellers and a boxer.<br />
These everyday people become tangible symbols of an Africa that uses the dignity of work to fight poverty, promote equitable development, maximise its resources and take back responsibility for creating its future.<br />
A Benetton website devoted to the campaign and its related events and the <a href="http://www.birima.org/" target="_blank">www.birima.org</a> portal. The <em>Africa Works</em> campaign will also be on stage during the Senegalese singer’s world tour, in particular during his concert at Paris Bercy on 5 April 2008.<br />
Apart from being the title of one of the singer’s international successes, Birima is the name of a legendary king of Senegal who, speaking to his people only once a year, became a symbol of the value of keeping one’s word, of a moral code reflected in the credit society’s key tenet: those who ask for a loan need offer no other security than their word and the good name of their family.<br />
From Senegal, Birima’s style of advanced credit will be gradually exported to other African nations.<br />
