Confiscated Mangroove Logs

To me and my friends this trip was full of surprises! Firstly, we couldnt believe our eyes that Mangrooves could produce large pieces of timber! But one of the people residing in this area (Nyamisati) told us that, what we always see are small mangroove trees and not the big ones. "..some of them are as big as baobab trees".

Secondly, this is the area where salt water(from the ocean) meets fresh water (from river).But which suprised us the most, is the existence of some fish who roam in both fresh and salt water! There was no one to give scientific explanation to quench our thirst of knowledge on this!

But I was keen to learn of safety measures and the existence of safety gears in the boats, dhows and ships but to our utter surprise, very few, i might say 2% of the vessels had safety gears. the question is, what if the accident occurs while in deep sea?

Protection?

In one of the Highways I saw this, and when I asked the driver why they have kept these thorns at the back of the truck, he said it is protection against thugs who jump onto the trucks and steal the luggages.

Prosthetics and Orthotics Village

This is a new blog which gives information about prosthetics and orthotics. To many these are very difficult terms, simply means the blog gives information about rehabilitation services as to how one can benefit from various artificial appliances after the trauma of various kind. Eg loss of a leg, arm or both, paralysis due to accidents.

As we all know that the number of accidents have increased, this blog has come timely.
