Hey guys! Just came online to say that I'll be in Windhoek all next week - working at camp GLOW (Girls Leading Our World) Its a student and female empowerment camp, where we work with young girls and help them with self esteem, study habits, saying no, things like that. It should be fun!! Hopefully I'll have quick internet there, so maybe ill update as we go along. Hopefully...

Gah! I can't believe I missed you online because I was at a seminar! But it was actually a great seminar by a guy named Dr. Jonathan Patz (he co-shares the nobel prize with Al Gore because of his work on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). He talked about the health and environmental implications of climate change and had quite a few slides on malaria and the cholera outbreak in your neck of the woods... er, I mean desert. Definitely made me think of you, and it was very scary to see hard examples of the consequences that can be caused by a temperature change of only a few degrees.

I can't wait to hear about how your talks go at the female leadership camp. I hope you are finally able to post some pictures if you have decent internet in Windhoek.

Much love Nick!
