So apparently, there are still active landmines and unexploded ordinances left over from the civil and even colonial wars!!
We found this out in a recent Safety and Security session (with the always entertaining Alfredo). While explaining the history of these mines the Safety and Security Coordinator pulls up a slide with tips for how to handle yourself in the event that you have just stepped on a mine. Basically, we are to keep our feet/weight on said mine, stay calm, call the authorities and lastly NOT PANIC!!
At this point, I was completely dumbfounded and knew for certain that I could not guarantee that I would stay completely calm if I suspect that I have just happened upon a landmine of all things!!
~Uma coisa boa (a good thing) that came out of it though is that we (Moz 16) have a new catch phrase:
"If you didn't drop it, don't pick it!!"
The second part of this presentation was about cyclones. So according to the SSC cyclones are really dangerous, because they bring a lot of rain, and mud and also crocodiles and hippopotamuses???
So, because he thought (I guess) we weren't taking his warnings seriously enough-the SSC brings up a picture of a crocodile, then another on of the croc sem (without) skin AND THEN another picture of human remains that were found inside of the aforementioned croc.
A bit EXTREME nao e??
Yea I know!!! You can imagine our reaction!
