Sondag - Making String/Rope Fibre from Mother-in-Laws Tongue. Photo by David and Jenny Holmes (guests in 2010)
Country: Namibia
Investigation name or abstract title: Surveillance system evaluation for malaria in elimination phase, Oshana region, Namibia, 2017.
Photo description: This picture was taken on the January 08, 2018 at Windhoek the capital city of Namibia. In this picture is me (Standing) explaining to an elderly man (Seated and paying attention to my explanation) on how to use water purification tablet (AQUA tablet) during response to an Hepatitis-E outbreak at Havana Informal Settlement, Windhoek, Namibia. The water purification tablet were donated by UNICEF as a response to an outbreak, since Hepatitis-E virus is transmitted via faecal-oral route principally via contaminated water. UNICEF donated water purification tablet which I and other FELTP fellows and alumni, distributed to affected communities of Havana and Goreangab informal settlement respectively. We educated community on safe hand wash with safe water before handling food, boiling water from unsafe source before consumption and proper disposal system of human feces.
I know that the quality of this photo is not the best, but I still love it. It was taken with my old camcorder from the back seat of a jeep near the entrance to the leopard and cheetah farm in Namibia

Swakopmund. The foreground is a playground of a kindergarten and in the background is Woermann House.
Situated in Bismarck Street, this beautiful old building was erected in 1894. The Damara Tower served as a water tower, landmark and navigation point for the ships of the Woermann line. In 1921 the South West Africa Administration bought the Woermannhaus and converted it into a school hostel. It was later restored and transformed into the public library and art centre it is today.
In the north of Namibia the Kunene River flows along the Namibian / Angola border. This river starts its life from deep within the highlands of Angola, running south and when the river turns to the west it then becomes the border between these two countries.
At its western end, not far from the sea, is an isolated community campsite run by the local Himba people. This site is very remote and in order to enjoy its absolute serenity and beauty you need to be able to travel at least 1000 miles between refuelling stops. Because of this it is rarely visited, which adds an extra edge to the isolation here, making you feel that you are deep in unexplored country. When we visited, the visitor’s book had few entries and a year later on our second visit no other names had been added since the first time that we had enjoyed the shade under the Ana trees.
As you drive out of the Marienfluss and into the camp a magnificent sign proclaims that you have arrived. There are some rules of great importance written by hand on it, one of which is:
“Swimming is prohibited due to the presence of crocodile in the river”.
Fantastic I thought, as we drove in, so no sooner had we set up camp and I was off with camera in hand to find a crocodile.
A few hundred yards from where we had set up camp the river’s pace slowed and here I found this crocodile basking in the sun on some river worn rocks. He let me watch him for a while before with a heave, that belied the speed that he could travel, he ambled away to slip quietly into the brown waters of the Kunene River.
