Faso!



Above: Pictures of two children at our OCC distributions.
Below: A village we visited near Kongoussi. The mountain you see behind would not be found Yako, and so we found it very interesting and beauiful. Compared to the Rockies it's a hill, but it's still beautiful amongst all the flat flat land here!



Above: A WC (water closet. there is not water though). Most bathroom stops don't look like this at all, but i had to post this one because it was so funny! Note the picture below? I took that from inside before doing my business. All those kids gathered round to watch us go in and out of the 'bathroom'! Also note on the left, there's a donkey..









Above: Just recieved a shoebox, and already chowing down on the bonbons
Below: a typical school bell found in many of the villages we've visited
















Above: These girls were enjoying the toys found in the shoeboxes. She needed me to explain how to use them, but then found them fun!









Above: drinking stop at a well. All the cows here have that big bump on their back, apparently it's fat storage.. I don't remember it being so pronounced on cows back home, but perhaps i just wasn't paying attention










Above: a little fulani girl at one of our disributions. She's adorable!










Above: a little boy at one of our OCC disitributions. he liked seeing his picture!
