Hello guys!

From my view; the sky is gray, the sun is shinning so bright,
From my window, i see trees with dry leaves,
My door, which ís facing towards the road, i see by-passers with dusty feets.
From your view, the sky is dark, therefore no sunny days,
From your window, u see trees with semi-green leaves,
Your door, you only see the top of the by-passers` heads, for u are on a high building,
you and me see things from different angles, for we are from different worlds !

sory about the lack of pictures..

I actually have some great snaps, butv the problem is that the network is so down that am even  unable to download a single picture. sory for the inconvinience..but i promise i will keep on trying till i make it !

When u truly apreciate being a somali !

Good evening tweeps !!
I just returned from 24 hour trip. The trip composed of ride round a whole district. My work was to do some monitoring work for the Ngo (racida). If I may break it down for you, i was assigned to go round the areas where pastoralist families live; and my mission was to meet these people and see if the water or food that was sent to them reached. I was asking them if they benefitted from the water-trucking projects Racida has driven in those areas. the results were a mixture of reactions. They all said that they recieved the water/food that was sent to them, but was not really enough or they simply apreciate the work done but would be glad to see more things coming.
Whatever the reaction was, this trip was one of my best trips i have ever made in ma life ! i met people, got closer to them, felt their problems but could not go beyond the reflection of their sparkling eyes; the environment said one thing; DROUGHT, HUNGER, SUFFERING ! but their eyes said different things. I could see hope in their eyes..their smile was so real that their faces are stuck in ma memories..Wallahi; these people are beautiful..I have seen peole with money in Europe, i have seen them lough or smile..but i swear, what i saw today really astonished me. This people have lost what is the most important thing in their lives; their amimals, but at the same time, they freely joked and loughed, their smile and lough was different from those i have seen before. this was genuine and its authencity is comfirmed by the fact that one gets moved..to be honest; i cant describe my feelings about the meetings with those "poor" people i met today...i dont see them poor since for me poverty is synonymous with gloomy and unhappy faces..
In summary, my experience today has made me feel blessed being a somali..i mean, if in this difficult times, i could share joke with these nomads, this is indeed sumthing to be proud of..

Another interesting day !

Am awoken by my 2 younger siblings who came in from Nairobi; as we enjoy loughing and chatting, an old lady came in running, she asks if Zeynab and abdalla are home (the sibblings)..the woman told us about how the bus that dropped my sibblings overturned at a place 5 kilometers away from us..WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT !! THE BUS THAT MY LIL BRO AND SIS TOOK FROM NAIROBI HAD JUST CRUSHED 2 MINUTES AFTER IT LEFT US ! alhamdulillah ! no one died..some injuries though..
we took a 10 kilometer walk tó witness the accident..i just came in from there, really tired , sweaty and thirsty..
am downloding the pics of the bus later on !
Now what happens? yeah, am taking a shower, heavy african lunch..cold drinks and a power nap...then meeting with some football maniacs in order to chat about the big game..Chelsea-been-eaten-by united..

Its sunnny with heavy clouds over us!

I woke up late today! feeling good for the first time since ramadaan..i suffered Typhoid, dehydration after my frequest visits to the toilet (thanks to that camel milk..hehe)..right now,am  Looking forward to the weekend because of the big games coming up, especially united V chelsea..
GOOD NEWS ! the sky looks promising, its like it will rain anytime soon ! Everytime i wake up for the morning prayers, i stare at the sky, the sky over somalia and see clouds all over..this really makes my day. pray guys ! pray for rain

Hows the days look like out here !

As u all know we are experiencing one of the worst droughts in 60 years ! what makes things worse is the fact that the drought coincided with the lack of governance in the failed state of Somalia. This meant that the famine led to the desperate fleeing of people from the country in search of greener pasture. This unfortunately was not an easy task. Somalis flooded into neighbouring countries for survival, but this was not such a success story. i would take years if i try to narrate the whole scenario, so i decided to touch on the Daadaab desaster camps !
Daadaab complex is designed for 90,000 refugees and it has now over 450,000 refugees and the number is ever-growing. I paid a visit to the place for few weeks ago in order to deliever what good samaritans have sent to the daadaab people. Thanks to the inspiration of Somali-youth-League, people in Gevle sent 60, 000 kshs. to Daadaab. We bought the money with high-energy biscuits made of honey,chocolate,milk and egg. we also bought mosquito nets for the pregnant and nursing mothers, other things include; milk and fruit drinks. The stuff has reached over 45 families who were in desperate need of help. Here, i just want to show my appreciation to those who were involved with this work.,THANKS !
My next publishing will be about the pictures from Daadaab, at the moment the internet is down. take care!

Here and there !

Asalamu Aleykum ! thanks to the almighty Allah who gave me the strength and ability to do what i just started doing;BLOGGING! As nordy as it might sound, after seeing,experiencing and hearing lots of surprising stuff, i decided to share this with those friends who might be interested to know about my where-abouts.
This is the 3rd time i am blogging, my problem has been the same; i ran out of ideas, lost my passwords because of long absence, had little time e.t.c..now that i will be travelling a lot, i decided to offload my experience to u guys. Hope u enjoy !
My blogg will be mainly in English since i expect that many of those who would be following me are english speakers; but i might sometimes write in Swedish, somali, arabic or swahili depending on my subjects.
