I'm working with the headmaster of the college (middle school) on a collection of folk tales from his region of Niger, near the Burkina Faso border, and I'll be posting them up as I progress through that.

This is the third attempt to type this. Each time either the power goes out or things are moving so slow that it makes sitting around typing very frustrating. Also, the heat doesn't help me want to sit around and sweat while typing.

One side project I'm working on is turning biomass waste into charcoal. Lachlan, another volunteer who lives near me, and I are running our first attempts in our "kiln" when I get back from Burkina. I'll let you know how that goes.

Now I'm getting ready to go on vacation to Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso for the FESPACO film festival. I know that's not really good enough for a 3 month blogging hiatus. But, I hope y'all are doing well.

William, I enjoyed my visit with you. I fell in love with everyone in your village and wish we could have spent more time there.
ReplyDeleteIn the United States, an election is a common event. In your village, this is the first time they have seen the election process. What a difference you are making.
The work you are doing is appreciated.
Love,
Mom
William, I have missed your updates. Your Mom said they enjoyed visit and seeing you, but for too short a time.
