Bundu Bashing

Well two weeks in the bush, minus the two days I had on the first aid course, they were two intersting weeks. It was fun working in the bush, cutting trees, shrubs and grass, using different equipment (my particular favourite being the panga), sawing trees was the one thing I had done a bit before I started my course so it was the one thing I was adept at. Found a large Puff Adder on the first day of our course, it showed us the potential dangers of what we were doing, I walked away looking like a person who fought with a thorn tree, scratches on my arms, legs, head, back and ribs were all worth the potential reward in knowing we have protected Sondela for the most part from fires. The speeches and lunch with Mel, Ian, Diederick and Sieg was also entertaining, we definately developed as a team through the course of the two weeks.
