Final day in Ethiopia Conservation Management Plans and Goodbye
Day 8 of the conference concluded with Mark presenting key issues to be included in Conservation and Management Plans for historic buildings and places. Plans already in existence were reviewed and the whole group considered further work to undertake, as resources become available.
It was also a sad day leaving a country of beauty, sublime volcanic landscapes and historic buildings, people in real poverty who still invited you in their home to share a simple meal and a great group of men and women who I enjoyed working and spending time with.
