Social inclusion and the hydroelectronic power plant
Thank you Stewi! You must be an insider since you got the story right again! Yes, the Little Peacekeeper is visiting a hydroelectric power plant. This UNDP project is making sure that the power plant is taken care off by training the local community on how to maintain it. Have a look at the pictures to meet some of the local experts working in this project!
In Rasht Valley, Tajikistan
The Little Peacekeeper is indeed in Rasht Valley in Tajikistan. Both Christoph and Stewi were absolutely right and the Little Peacekeeper is very impressed you found out where he is. On the picture, you can see him with the board describing the UNDP project he is visiting and you can also observe him sit on a piece of project equipment. Do you have any idea what the project could be about?
The next mission – where is he now?
The Little Peacekeeper is on his next mission. On the picture you can see him in front of poster explaining what the project he is visiting is about. Do you know where he is?

World Malaria Day
On any regular post you see the Little Peacekeeper working, traveling or enjoying his spare time and he is always awake. On this photo you see him sleeping and aside from his soft pillow and the cool blanket you will notice the mosquito net. The net of course is to protect the Little Peacekeeper from Malaria. So you don’t need to worry about him, he is safe. But there are still many Malaria affected people out there, so if you are in the US, help Nothing But Nets http://www.nothingbutnets.net/ – a UN Foundation powered initiative to help in the fight against Malaria.
