An illustrated talk by David Bee
Earlier in the year David Bee spent about three works working with the Afar people in northern Djibouti. This was his seventh trip to that country.
Djibouti, formerly French Somaliland, is situated in the Horn of Africa. It is sparsely populated and much of the land is very dependant on increasingly fickle rains.
The Afar people are transhumanic herders, totally dependant on their goats and camels.
David provided veterinary help and training to the Afar people, doing a little to improve the condition of their livestock.
He has countless tales of getting ‘up close and personal’ with a wide range of animals, some fascinating insights into living conditions in this rarely-visited part of the world and some stunning photographs of people, places and pastimes.
Not to be missed.
The talk will begin at 7.30 in Buriton Village Hall.
Admission £1 with a retiring collection to raise money for Buriton’s Village-to-Village Link with Dominase in Ghana.
