Giant Mole Rat Teeth

Ethiopian Wolves! they are more like big red foxes, but there are only 450 of them in existence and we saw 6!

Huge hail storm that we almost got stuck in. (Or maybe it was some snow, too)

Not sure what this big palm-looking plant is called?

Windchill cold is bitter at this elevation!

Photos from Last month in Alemgena

Packing up the Land Cruiser to leave Alemgena and move to the big city-Robe. A lack of work forced us to move, a common thing for volunteers in small towns here.

Gardening with the compound kids

Gardening Training- Our co-worker invited 30 people to this training, but for the first couple hours no one showed up but a big cow; this is just the way things go sometimes.

This cool tool in called a "Koto" and is used to dig fence holes and gardens and all sorts of things.

weeding Our little tree nursery after a couple months of growing.

Our little home garden really took off when the rains started. We had over 100 tomatoes on three plants but it never got hot enough to turn them red. We ate them anyway.

My new work projects: top-bar bee hives. More on these later.
