Workforce health

As a company we do so much for workforce and community health. Event today focused on cardiovascular health.  

Great dance demonstration included. 

In the works and how it works

A national colleague told me the city would not function without the blue vans that shuttle people all over the city and suburbs. They are all over. One guy drives and another runs along getting people to get in their can. Not sure what the charge is. 

Lots of public works projects occurring. They are trying to improve roads, park space and infrastructure. Lots of road and sidewalk work I have seen lately. They try. 

We support a lot in Angola

Chevron has supported and offered resources for a long time in Angola. 

Been here 60 years. 

It's pretty impressive what we do in other countries to help the development of the community we operate in. 

Our ambulance in Luanda 

We used to have a coffin program for employees and I think we still do. To support safe and hygiene of handling the deceased. I came across some at our warehouse the other day. 

Holiday Angola.

Thursday is a national holiday here in Angola. Something about the founder I believe.  But I guess sometimes the government just decides some other days are holidays too.    

The government sent a note out that Friday is now a national holiday too and employers must give their employees the day off.    Kind of one of the Thursday Friday combo days off I guess. 

So I get an extra long weekend in the office by myself to get a lot done.  

Well the government says its a day off work so all must comply or be in noncompliance with the labor laws.  

Cabinda- Luanda scenes

Quick trip to Malongo.  

Cabinda province is different. Not as built up, much greener, more rain, less resources but lots more oil offshore. 

They do have a football stadium though. 

And back to Luanda. 

There is a beach area of sorts on the ilia. 

Hitch 5,8?

Back on hitch, routines, work and work. 

Improvement: we now use the BestFly terminal to go to Malongo/Cabinda.  

It's nicer and quieter. 

The usual interesting and changing times otherwise. Angola is entering a tough period with economic, resource and growth challenges.
