PICTURES AND STUFF


The right side of this building is my house. The small building to the extreme right is my shower and latrine. A nice in here 30-40's lives in the other part of the building.


This is my neighbors wife and daughter. The wife is cooking lunch and the little girl is shucking corn. The animals are enjoying the husks leftover.


This is my dog asleep in my pants. He is doing much better now than the previous weeks.


THIS IS THE MIDDLE SCHOOL IN MY VILLAGE. I AM TRYING TO FIND FUNDING FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF ACTUAL BUILDINGS. THE COST OF THE CONSTRUCTION WILL BE AROUND $16000 .


THIS IS THE MOST UPDATED PHOTO OF ME. SHAVED HEAD SITTING IN MY HOUSE. ITS REAL HOT BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE MY HOUSE BUT INSIDE I DON'T HAVE TO WEAR A SHIRT.

The road from my village to the Route Nationale has improved since the rains have fallen. Before it looked like something was missing like cheap wine lacks body. When the rain came down it sounded like a waterfall crashing on my tin roof. The surrounding area have turned green like a lime with vegetation and the soil has turned a deep brown like rich coffee. Now I am sitting at a egg bar, where people can buy eggs, bread and coffee. I have an egg sandwich with hot pepper and onion. I have café au lait with my sandzich. After I finish I am planning on wandering through the market and visiting locals that I have come to know. I would not call them friends yet but in the future that may change.
