L’Afrique m’a dit bonjour

In Goma, I was picked up by my boss, met other Concern staff and went for lunch for which we waited 2 hours!!!! Anyway, that didn’t matter so much, the day was nice anyway. Only in the evening then, I started having slight belly ache… which got worse and worse over night and in the morning I went to the office just to go back home 30 minutes later… stomach cramps, vomiting, diarrhea… absolutely fantastic, I was in such pain. I haven’t felt so bad in a long time. Maria, I can imagine now how you must have felt, when you were ill! I’ve gotten better over they and I hope Ill be able to start work tomorrow. Unfortunately, I missed a first trip today to an IDP (internally displaced people) camp where we might start a project.

  1. L’Afrique t’a dit bonjour? I think it was all due to the fact that you had to wait for 2 hours – you’re just not used to starve :-D

  2. Hahahaha, very funny. I didn’t get the problems from lunch but from sth I ate in Kinshasa. Also, Im far from starving… you know I have a cook in my house who’s taking very good care of me!!
