Aden in Africa

I'm currently living and working in Arusha, Tanzania. This is a place where you can see photos and stories from my time in Africa!

So just had 200 (!) reusable menstrual hygiene kits go to Endulen, a remote Maasai community. Previously these girls were using torn off foam mattresses, dirty old shirts, or just staying in their Bomas for several days every month. So proud off my team & all that have made this happen. Sometimes good ideas work.

I haven't introduced the fab #socialenterprise staff I get to work with here at #umoja. Perhaps I should. Here they are! They're amazing and together with @daysforgirls, @danmirabel, @lynnmarlowe (and many, many others) we're helping to provide 200 Maasai women with reusable menstrual health kits. Work that makes a difference is super fun (what's the alternative?). #socent #adendevelopment #daysforgirls #africa #tanzania #travel #soppypost

Finally did the whole drive-around-and-spot-animals-from-the-lion-king thing (a.k.a. Safari) to #ngorongoro. I took a lot of pictures but none came out any good so here's a #regram from @lynnmarlowe instead. #wildlife #africa #tanzania #safari #travel #nature (at Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania)

25 years later my attitude towards team sports is essentially unchanged #sport #teamsport #umoja #thefilterisaden (at Arusha, Tanzania)

Listen: I absolutely did not climb this mountain. I have no idea how these photos got here. Little help? #travel #hiking #climbing #mtmeru #twendehiking #africa #tanzania #arusha (at Arusha, Tanzania)
