Last blog got such a positive reaction, here are some more "what I do" photos.
Baby weighing chart. Note the child Francois is talking about is in the green. yeah!
This is how we weigh babies. This one isn't so happy about it.
Teaching one of the health leaders how to read the scale. All the people in the same fabric are the village health leaders.
His t-shirt does say what you think it does. Hatboro - Horsham soccer club. I tried to explain that I used to play on soccer team that played them, but he wasn't interested. Me on the other hand, I was almost as excited as to see an MSA shirt.
Some faces from around town.
Takes a pig roast to a whole new level...
This is the Catholic church in Dassa. Who knew that for the Assumption of Mary (aug 15th) Dassa would turn into a sort of carnival town, only olive oil, and glow in the dark rosaries for sale. There were many festivities including 24 hour prayers, singing, and stations of the cross.
A little bit of home and the one plant that didn't drown with all the rain. Zinnias!

Oh! I'm so sad that I'm not there! Don't get me wrong--we're thrilled to be adopting--but I'm bummed it meant not coming to Benin. It looks like you are doing really well and making a big difference in your community. I am so happy for you that you are having this experience. Lots of love!
Thank you for yet another fascinating insight to your comings and goings. The expressions on the faces of the children in village speak curiosity and wonderment --just beautiful. So, how was that pig?!!
