It added up to quite a lot: The purchase at the veterinary pharmacy cost almost $1000. Injection solutions, syringes, antibiotics – a bit of everything, according to the prescription the vet had written for René. We packed everything into a large cardboard box and then took it to a dispatch depot, from where the goods were transported to our warehouse in Kamituga on the next lorry (truck). From there, the medicines are then distributed to the individual projects and the vet appointments are coordinated. Hansen will then take the medicines by motorbike to our colleague René in Kitutu in the hinterland and he will accompany the vet to the individual villages and projects. It’s all time-consuming and tedious – but we’re glad that it’s possible at all, because when the conflicts here were even more drastic, many roads were impassable due to the risk of kidnapping. The region is more peaceful today – even though it still hasn’t completely calmed down.
