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.
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.
