Today I gave a lecture at the Geography Department at B.U.K.

We had a bit of a delay due to electricity problems.

Invitation from Kano

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

Saleh Momale, our contact person with PARE, the NGO for pastoralists in the Kaduna region, combines his work for PARE with being a lecturer in the Geography Department at Bayero University in Kano.

Due to his enthusiasm for my work, I was invited to come over to give a lecture.

On the day of our arrival we got a nice tour through the town, visiting the market, a museum and the famous dying pits.
