Baraton- the spring of salt water

According to the story from the village people, the real Baraton is located at the spring of salt water down on the valley near Kimondi.  A beautiful area along the river and valley where lush green of papyrus grows abundantly and provides an ideal sanctuary for the Tatunga - African deer, mongoose, and many different kind of birds. Going around this valley really taking me into the real living Eden I usually watch only in National Geography channel.

BEAUTIFUL WHITE BARA

At about 14:00 Monday August 16, 2011 just after lunch when we were ready for our class, suddenly the sky became very dark. The strong wind blew and then little white ice in form of hail pour down. In less then an hour Baraton was covered with layer of ice.
I got my camera and took pictures and was very surprised to see how people react to this extraordinary phenomena. Many of them are also with their cameras. "Sir, we are in Europe" some of my students told me.

It was very nice to see our Beautiful green Bara turns into white.

BARATONIANS IN ACTIONS

This week news are full with the coverage of the looting and burnings by the youth gangs in UK major cities.  It was so such a horrible and sad feeling to see young people joined gangs and involved in activities such as looting, burnings and killings.

Today I am very glad to see our young men spent their precious time in sport.
Watching them exercise their power and energy in a good sport, while enjoying the games, make our life in Baraton so colorful. This Sunday morning is the game between  Zambia and Malawi club.

I am very surprise to see what I got from the photos taken during the game. They are many, but I only choose to post the ones where the players are in action.
Unlike the UK news where the pictures show young people looting and beating the fellow Britons, I am very proud to post our young Baratonians in beautiful actions.
Whosoever won the game GOD BLESSES  YOU ALL, VERY PROUD OF YOU.

NTV in Baraton

On July 1, 2011 the Nation TV media came to Baraton to do their coverage on the Nandy Hill county. They chose UEAB as their base where the news was broadcasted through out the country. I took this opportunity to talk to one of the Nation TV presenter named Joe after the church on Saturday July 2. That weekend from July 1-3 UEAB and the Nandy area was shown on the NTV.
