What We See and Hear Every Day

Every day we hear the Muslim call to prayer several times, but overall we don't see a lot of people who stop and actually pray at these times. There is a competing Koranic camp next door.

There are piles of rocks that we pass on our way to school. We're not sure what they are there for, but they seem to be good for drying laundry.


Maria, our wonderful host, relaxing after a long day.


We are surrounded by beautiful children all day. This is Fatumata, showing off her henna, which is common on women's feet, but not so much for kids.



Our beds and shared mosquito net, like a little tent.



Next to Zoe's bed, we have a little space where we are storing our flowers until the big show.


Every day we see piles of trash, in contrast to the beauty of Kati's lush greenery (thanks to all the rain we've been getting).
