hazards

Africa poses a few different hazards than we have back home. This morning I received a skype message “Hi Kristi, how are you? Myself am little bit okay, am with a leg injury, I fell in the toilet!” Now normally I would laugh at this kind of statement…but it came from one of my colleagues in Mutarara. There are no proper toilets in Mutarara, only pit latrines and open holes. So if he fell in the “toilet” and hurt his leg pretty badly…it means he fell into a giant hole. A very unpleasant giant hole. He is ok. But I didn’t ask for details. I don’t want to know! Watch out for the latrines!!
