Sara in DR Congo

Since the end of April, I am in the Congo working as a civilian observer with the civil police in MONUC. Thus, my present 'life and work' is in the East of this vast country; in Bunia, a tiny little town in the district of Ituri.

Depending on the access to, and speed of, Internet, I aim to post as many photos as possible. I will try not to write too long posts, but sometimes waiting for the photos to be uploaded, I have too much time to keep writing...

Speaking of the larves, this is actually the first time I see them. Didn't dare to try this time.
