A Couple of Villages in Birwa - 6/14

We walked a few miles off the main road to this village in the Birwa Chiefdom, which is located in the northern part of Bombali District.

Several households in these villages were supposed to be interviewed by our enumerators as part of the 2007 National Public Services Survey that I've been helping to run, and we wanted to check up with people here to make sure that they were actually interviewed.

Bureh Town Beach - 6/24

The weather wasn't that great on Sunday, but it made for some dramatic lighting. My friends Neil and Andrew trying to surf (unsuccessfully).

Bureh Town beach doesn't make it into many of the guidebooks on Sierra Leone ... and that's just the way I like it.

Adam (my house-mate) and Kate (a co-worker) catching up on their reading. We were the only people there on Sunday.
