until I get around to writing an actual blog entry!
A group of Italians came to work with a primary school for 10 days. The theme of the camp was "Pinocchio", and focused on arts and creativity. For the closing ceremony, the students wrote, directed, and made puppets for short plays in the local language. Thus, I couldn't really understand everything that was going on, but the audience seemed to enjoy the puppet shows!
Photos from my trip to Namounou. The big
marche (market) day there is Sunday, so a few friends and I decided to head over and check it out.
The view from the top of the hill! Namounou is located in a basin surrounded by hills, with only 2 exits. The hills weren't that high, but in a land where almost everything is flat, even a little elevation is a big deal.
Drinking some
dolo, the local beer made from millet, with my travel companions.
Grabbing a long lunch before catching the truck back home. Notice the deliberate word choice. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of our transport.
