In Village

A few pictures from my a near by village where my NGO will be starting a health education project.

Last week my work partner and I spent a night in the village getting to know the people and collecting information. They speak local language so my work partner did most of the talking. But it was still a memorable time. In this village there are zero latrines, everyone uses the surrounding farm fields. There are no cement houses, only beautiful mud huts.

The potato like things are ignames. Here the women are getting them ready to set them in the sun to dry. The hills in the dry and dusty season.

The girls who work at my favorite bouvette. They make a mean igname pile and are always quick with a smile!

A weekend project with another volunteer. Painting a world map on the side of a elementary school building. We did forgot countries, the map here is not the finished map.

Just in case I forgot where I was. I ran into this on my way to work one day. Oh, right... I'm not in Kansas anymore.

Yard Work, We rake our leaves. They burn their brush.
