My counterpart Seeku had an awards ceremony recently to honor all the people who have worked with his community forest association/get his name out there to the bigger NGOs. There was a lot of food. Before these guys came and sat down with me, I had these three bowls all to myself...
Here are some funny pictures I took at my friend Hawa's house. My toma picking her nose (this is considered civilized) and Mustapha wearing a head scarf (not civilized, if you're a boy).
Really the big news is that the rainy season has come again. This means there's a big gross puddle of standing water in front of my house that big trucks get stuck in on a daily basis, people are starting to head to the fields to farm, and there are TONS of bugs. I don't think you would believe these bright red bugs until you see them. They look like little bits of chanille stems. Kind of out-of-this word. They're about the size of my fingernail, and I don't really think this picture does them justice, but it'll give you an idea. They look even more neon in real life.
Like I said, I was having a hard time coming up with a blog theme... So that's all I've got for you. Mostly I'm just thinking VACATION! One more month to go, then I'm heading to Morocco and the good ol' USA.
