So far nobody found out where the Little Peacekeeper is. Granted, the previous picture did not give a lot of hints.
On this picture you can see the Little Peacekeeper with a colleague. Any idea where he might be?

Happy New Year to you!
I hope that you are able to enjoy this period of year-end activities and also that you found some quality time to spend with friends and family. 2011 has been a very exciting year for me since the UN Job List enjoyed another year of incredible growth.
But aside from the usage statistics, what I really appreciate is the commitment and the dedication that some of you show in referring friends to the UN Job List and providing great feedback and good ideas for improvements to me.
It has been a very eventful year for this world. And many of you work towards making this world a better place. I really hope that all of us will succeed a little in this endeavor in the coming year.
With this I would like to wish you all the best for a successful 2012!
Cheers,
Sebastian

The Little Peacekeeper at Cambridge University
After his visit to Sierra Leone, the Little Peacekeeper goes to Cambridge University in England to take a step back and engage in some intellectual reflection. Since his work takes him all over the world, he knows that understanding the context of the places he goes, to the extent possible, is really important.
After taking some time to do some research on Sudan, he caught up with a couple of students – a PhD in Land Economy and an MPhil in African Studies – for a day in the park. 
The Little Peacekeeper thanks Carol Gallo for being such a great host!
Bondo Devil
As you know from the last post, the Little Peacekeeper is currently in Sierra Leone. Here, the Little Peacekeeper is learning about the traditional bondo society, a secret society for women. It is a very complex and challenging topic but there is a little bit of background here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sande_society
The Little Peacekeeper is now confronted with learning about decision of the bondo society to ban performing female genital mutilation (FGM) on children under 18. The Little Peacekeeper knows what the UN has to say about this very important topic: http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?Cr1=health&NewsID=37478&Cr=women. Now, for the bondo society, the issue of abandoning FGM/FGC is a difficult one not only culturally but also economically because there are a lot of Soweis (the women performing the cutting ceremony) who need to find alternative livelihoods if the practice if abandoned.
So, on the photos you can see the Little Peacekeeper with the wood carving of the bondo devil that the Council of Soweis gave to the Little Peacekeeper. The carving on the figurine is the ban on child bondo and then the other picture show him with devil itself.
