Update: Site Announcement

Hello Everyone!

We’re very excited because we just got back from another 2 weeks of Homestay and have just gotten our site assignment! We are going to be in the Sikasso region which is in the south east of Mali. This is one of the cooler regions of Mali and has been described as the “breadbasket” of this country. So we are very excited about being somewhere where we have access to fruits and vegetables on a somewhat regular basis. According to the info we were given, we are in a small village but are within biking distance of 2 fairly large towns.  But at the moment we don’t want to say too much about our site because we want to visit it first!

We will be at Tubaniso for a few days before going to Site Visit for about a week to check out where we will be living, meet the host community, and start to make preparations for service! We will be sure to update you with pictures, etc. as soon as we get back from site visit!

Also, we’re in the process of writing our blog for the 2nd part of homestay so look forward to that coming soon! Thank you all so much for your prayers, email, and support!
