Alan’s early careerI am lucky to have had a varied interesting – and very exciting professional life! One in which I have changed my career path each decade since 1964 when I first started as a teacher After three year training 1961-1964 at what is now the University of Chichester in West Sussex UK I qualified with a Certificate in Education at both Primary and Secondary level to teach Science and Physical Education – and had passed with Credit Whilst teaching for three years on Merseyside home of the Beatles with my wife Margaret – who I had met at college – it became obvious I could not get promotion without a university degree So I applied for and was accepted to read Life Sciences at Liverpool University There I gained an Ordinary BSc with Distinction in 1969 an Honours BSc in 1970 and a PhD in 1974 For my doctoral research I was fortunate to compare the behaviour ecology of two sub species of rare mountain gorillas living in Central Africa I first started in 1970 with the late Dian Fossey at what later became know as Karisoke Research Centre This was located at 3000m on Mount Visoke in the Rwandan section of the beautiful Virunga volcanoes Dian’s research had been initiated by Dr Louis Leakey and was funded by the National Geographic Society – while mine was funded by my NATO Scholarship Unfortunately or perhaps with hindsight – fortunately – after my first period at Karisoke Dian Fossey insisted that in order to return to complete my research I had to sign her Letter of Agreement Among other things this agreement would enable Dian to have complete control over when I would be able to publish my research – and so it was impossible for me to sign In fact this letter seemed to have been construed to ensure that I would not return! Luckily for me this apparent disaster in my research plans were rescued by Dr Peter Kunkel – Director of IRSAC Institute pour la Research Scientifique en Afrique Centrale in Bukavu Zaire now Congo – who allowed me to move my project to his institute Peter had a deep understanding of Central Africa and showed a totally different attitude to his research staff than Dian I learned a great deal from his wide experience From my new base in IRSAC I was able to study the mountain gorillas in the nearby Kahuzi-Biega National Park – which had been partially habituated by the remarkable Conservator Adrien Deschryver This was the first time this population had been studied and I found many interesting differences with the Virunga gorillas – who until then had been taken as ‘the’ model for all gorilla behavior Thankfully I also saw many things differently especially through the eyes of my pygmy tracker – Patrice Wazi Wazi – and this allowed me to develop a better understanding of the wider issues of ‘Conservation Management’ My research findings were described in my doctoral thesis various scientific publications several popular articles and a book – ‘The Wandering Gorillas’ – first published by Wm Collins in 1979 nb Recently the Kahuzi population has ben re-classified as Gorilla beringei graueri and the Virunga population as Gorilla beringei beringeiMy later years – after Liverpool UniversityAfter completing my research and obtaining my PhD in 1974 – I became a Lecturer in Environmental Biology at the University of the West of Scotland – until 1990 During this period I realized that the emerging digital media technology would have an important role to play in education So during 1982-1984 I studied part-time for a Diploma in Educational Technology at Jordanhill College in Glasgow and was awarded a CNNA Diploma DipEdTech However this great course was not just about tech – but the whole ‘Systems approach’ to designing producing using and evaluating teaching and learning material – from print to multimedia and later digital mediaSince my first visits in 1970 – 1972 I have been back to Zaire and Rwanda on a number of occasions – and became Director of Karisoke Research Centre after the murder of Dian Fossey 1987-1989 on leave of absence from my University In July 1994 one week after the end of the terrible war and Genocide that swept through Rwanda I was one of the first westerners to return and check on the gorillas and especially on the whereabouts of Karisoke staff and their families I travelled to Rwanda on an aid flight with a group of journalists covering the visit of UK Minister Baroness Linda Chalker In Rwanda The UNAMIR Force Commander – Major General Romeo Dallaire gave me a great deal of support and offered the assistance of one of his staff – Major Charlie Braune We drove from Kigali to Ruhengeri – then on foot through the volcanoes past Karisoke and into Zaire – where we found all the Rwandan staff safe with their families in a refugee camp at Bukima in the Congo I was able to bring the news to them from my meetings with minsters of the new government that it was safe to come back into Rwanda – and many did so in the following days On my return to Kigali I gave reports to the Rwandan Government to the Digit Fund and also briefly assisted the UNAMIR Force Commander Major General Romeo Dallaire during post war field operations in Ruhengeri and Akagera Unfortunately when I finally returned to Scotland in late August 1994 none of my suggested projects for aid to Rwanda were taken up At this time almost the whole world feared that Rwanda was ‘a failed state’ and almost impossible to rebuild That is – everyone except the new Rwandan Government! See laterDuring this period from 1990 – 1999 I was Director of AV Media Services at the University of Strathclyde Glasgow The AV Media Services department had over thirty staff and was one of the largest of its kind in the UK It designs and produces high quality material for teaching research and promotional activities in all media – from full colour DTP to video CD ROMs DVD’s Virtual Reality and via on-line delivery over intra and internets The department is very well equipped with the latest design and production technology – including non-linear digital editing for audio video and multimedia production AV Media Services has won numerous awards in national and international competitions for its programmes While in this post I travelled extensively worldwide and especially throughout SE Asia and was asked to advise several universities government departments and industrial developers in Malaysia on the role of the new interactive media In October 1997 I was invited to give a keynote address at The Sixth National Conference on Multimedia NCMT’97 held at Xi’an Peoples Republic of China – and was the only westerner present I was invited back to China in 1988 to give a keynote address on Virtual Reality at their Seventh National Conference This was held at the National University for Defence Technology in Changsha and again I was the only westerner invited I gave another keynote address at China’s 15th NCMT held in October 2006 at Kunming – and was one of three invited westerners I worked a great deal with the UK’s British Council – especially in China and Malaysia and also with Apple China I was invited to give the 1998 Christmas lecture on behalf of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society in conjunction with the University of Strathclyde The lecture was entitled Among Mountain Gorillas – A Virtually Real Safari It showed how the new interactive technologies can be used to enhance our experiences and included videoconferencing Web information searches virtual reality and full stereo surround sound Subsequently the lecture has been ‘on-tour’ to four major cities in Scotland and was well received In 1999 I was awarded a prestigious Winston Churchill Fellowship This enabled me to travel the world – especially USA China Malaysia Japan and Australia – to research into the role of ‘Virtual Reality Technology in Education and Training’ I was also selected by the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust to become the Lord Beaverbrook Award Fellow of 1999 In November 2000 I was invited to give a keynote presentation at the 2nd Arabian Gulf Medical Associations Conference on ‘ Medicine the State of the Art’ I also gave the Christmas lecture at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow in December 2000 entitled – “Medicine in Cyberspace – educating tomorrow’s digital doctors” After a request in 1999 from the Rwandan Ambassador in London to help with the rebuilding program I was appointed the Honorary Consul for Rwanda in Scotland in March 2001 – this was recognised by the UK Foreign amp Commonwealth Office The Rwandan Government of National Unity invited me back on a months familiarisation visit in July 2001 I also spent three months in Rwanda during 2002 – working especially with Kigali Institute of Science Technology amp Management KIST producing a promotional video Realising our Potential and advising other institutions such as Kigali Health Institute Kigali Institute of Education National University of Rwanda and the Rwandan government on the use of ICT in education In October 2007 I attended the ‘Connect Africa Summit‘ – hosted by the International Telecommunications Union – and held in Kigali Rwanda Alan was one of the team from RITA Rwanda Information and Technology Authority where he was advising on the role of the emerging digital technologies in education business and training – as part of their enlightened ‘Vision 2020’ programAlan now lives in the Southern French Alps but he continues his International work in forging educational links between Scotland China and Rwanda using the new Information and Communication Technologies – to help in capacity building He is also now using the new media technologies to publish from his extensive data base of legacy material re text photos and video material It is his goal that this can further help in education worldwide – to give a better understanding of Rwanda and the Congo – and the challenges they face in trying to protect their unique National Park environments and rare animals such as the mountain gorillaAlan and Margaret have two daughters – Fiona and Marisa – both of who have been lucky enough to get very close to the mountain gorillas Fiona especially when she was first just four months old!Our story of these years in Africa was first told in my Book ‘The Wandering Gorillas’ published by WmCollins in 1979 This has now been completely re-edited and updated in eBook format and is available as an iBook via Apple iBooks in their iTunes stores worldwide – and an Amazon Kindle version is on their web site in USA UK France Germany Spain and Italy So far there is only an English version – but I hope to have other translations in the near future Click the link to iBooks below to read our early life in ‘The Wandering Gorillas’ This is a full ‘multimedia’ Enhanced Publication with two videos and hundreds of photos Also available on 32 other iTunes Stores worldwideApple iBooks link – for The Wandering GorillasIt is also available in Amazon Kindle version here – without video and less photos Also in UK France Germany Spain and out for more books of our later life in Africa – coming soon!Check out the maps photos and videos and other pages on this site – and especially the beautiful music of Rwandan artist Cecile Kayirebwa – which is Orphanage – RwandaThe remarkable work of Ros Carr’s orphanage is told in the web link below Rwanda quite rightly sees education as their way to overcome poverty – and Imbabazi gives these orphans the opportunity to grow up and play an active part in this rebuilding process As you will see Imbabazi means “a place where you will receive all the love and care a mother would give” In her own life Ros never had children – then at the age of 82 she suddenly became the mother of forty after the war and Genocide racked Rwanda Since then over four hundred have been helped by this wonderful organization – which is carrying on her work after she died in 2006 at the age of 94 Margaret and I found her a great inspiration when we first met her in 1970 Now Ros has left a wonderful legacy in Rwanda – which needs your help to continue – please do all you my other website alangoodallcom for my recent work |

Tensions between the US and the Soviet union grew to an all time high but the two never actually fought each other directly This is why it is called a Cold War The Cold War took place from 1947-1991 Many events happened during this period of time The Cuban missile crisis and the construction of the Berlin wall in 1961 to name a few Another memorable event that took place during the Cold war would be the first moon landing The soviet union had successfully launched the first satellite Sputnik which is Russian for traveler This came as a surprise to the US which saw space as the next frontier The US followed and launched their own satellite the Explorer I The soviets followed up launching the Luna 2 the first space probe to hit the moon Two years later they sent cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin to orbit the earth in a capsule-like spacecraft named the Vostok 1 Though before the soviets could pull ahead in the space race with Yuri Gagarin the US constructed a similar spacecraft They tested it with Chimpanzees and on May 5th Alan Shepard became the first man in space Although it was John Glenn who became the first American to orbit the Earth Later in May President Kennedy proclaimed that the US would have a man on the moon by the end of the decade NASA’s moon landing project was dubbed Project Apollo July 20th 1969 Apollo 11 landed on the moon The US had won the space race Neil Armstrong became the first man on the moon This is one small step for a man one giant leap for mankind The Cuban missile crisis occurred from October 14th 1962- October 28th 1962 In this time the Soviet Union wanted to install a SS-4 medium-range ballistic missile on Cuba The missile was discovered when a American U-2 spy plane made a high-altitude pass over Cuba Tensions became high the Cuban missiles were just 90 miles south of Florida The missiles were capable of targeting the eastern US Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev sent the missiles to Cuba with the express goal of increasing the Soviet Unions nuclear strike ability He saw the missiles as deterrents for further US attacks such as the bay of pigs invasion Kennedy decided that the missiles on Cuba were unacceptable and set up a blockade preventing the Soviet Union from delivering more missiles to Cuba He then alerted the public to the presence of the missiles Everyone nervously awaited the Soviet Union’s response fearing a nuclear war Soviet ships approached the blockade any attempt to breach the blockade would have ended badly But the ships stopped short a good sign The only casualty of the Cuban missile crisis was Major Rudolf Anderson who was flying an American reconnaissance plane that was shot down over Cuba The Cuban Missile Crisis ended with correspondance between Krushev and Kennedy stating that the Soviets would remove their missiles from Cuba if the US promised not to invade Cuba and to remove their missiles from Turkey Officially the Kennedy administration accepted the first term but decided to ignore the second Privately American officials accepted both terms The Cold war was far from over though The Berlin Wall was built August 13th 1961 and stood until November 9th 1989 The wall was built to divide West and East Berlin the purpose was to keep Western ideas out of East Berlin that would threaten the socialist state The Eastern side of Berlin went to the Soviet Union and the Western side went to the US Britain and soon enough France West Berlin was a primarily capitalist city within the socialist state The Soviet Union hoped that they could Starve the US and the Allies out with a blockade of West Berlin But instead The US and the Allies supplied their sector with what is know as the Berlin airlift Over 23 million tons of food fuel and other goods were delivered to West Berlin in this time The Soviet blockade was called off The construction of the Berlin Wall stopped the refugees from fleeing from the East to West Getting out was nearly impossible with vicious dogs floodlights and soldiers ordered to shoot escapees on sight On November 9th 1989 as Cold war tensions began to dramitically lesson the spokesman for East Berlin’s Communist Party announced that starting at midnight that day the citizens of the East Berlin were free to cross the country’s borders into West Berlin Some just crossed the border while others took picks and hammers to break down the wall Today the Berlin wall remains one of the most powerful symbols of the Cold War |
