Earlier this week I went back to Bomi County to check in on some of the social protection and health care programs being implemented there. Unlike the last time I was there, this visit involved a twenty-vehicle caravan, two vanloads of journalists and a European princess. I have a longer post half-written about some deeper thoughts I had on this trip, but am not ready to finish it quite yet. In the meantime, I thought I'd share a random assortment of pictures from the day:
 |
| American photographer captures European journalists watching Nigerian peacekeeper hold Liberian civilians at bay | | |
|
 |
| Sign from a wall in the government hospital in Bomi (cold water is Liberian slang for a bribe). Would that American hospitals had reminders that services were free... |
 |
| Local dancers after performing for the princess |
 |
| Just a low-key royal visit to a small village in Bomi |
 |
| The one kid in town who was still afraid of me by the time I left. By that point, he was smiling at me from a distance, but still shrieked when I got within two feet of him. Maybe next time... |
(not sure why my photos are all showing up as landscape, but really don't have the energy or bandwidth to deal with it right now, so apologies if you have to look at some sideways)
those were fun :) thanks for sharing. I especially like the caption on the first one. :)
