Week #21 Christmas in Mali


When you click on these images notice that the kids are flying homemade kites fabricated out of old plastic bags and scraps of wood. The wind on top of the garbage dump tended to be best for flying the kites!

This photo was taken at the "laying of the first brick" ceremony for a new clinic on the outskirts of Bamako. Fellow Vermonter Caitlin Cohen founded the small NGO responsible spearheading the clinic project.

Swarms of small children engulf us. Although they have seen many Westerners, they were extremely curious to see young white children in their midst.


Our star at the AISB Christmas Show!

Nothing like a little face paint and season 2 from the Dukes of Hazzard DVD collection
when you get a little homesick!
