Pictures: August in Mali pt 1

At the beginning of August, we enjoyed some time in Mali’s capital. (Top left) Joye with President A.T.T.’s house in the background on the hill. (Top right) Jim stands in front of a model-size mud mosque in Bamako’s Botanical Gardens. (Left) We splurged on one of the nicest restaurants in Bamako, found in the Botanical Gardens, Steak with green beans and salmon. Yum!

 

 

 

 

Below: Now that the rains have gotten underway, most villagers are busy in the fields. So we’ve spent a lot of time enjoying the new greenery, fresh air and the somewhat cooler temperatures.

 

   

Above: In the last few weeks, we’ve continued our workshop series in Duguba and taught 33 women and men about the nutritional benefits of Moringa as well as how to plant and care for the tree.

 

Finally, these were just a few moments that made us smile. On the left, a boy wearing a tie but no pants, and on the right, Winnie the Pooh.
