A Couple More Pictures




Here's a picture of me and my friend Stella - she's two, and the daughter of a good friend of ours who is a seamstress in our village. The other picture is us after we went to the seamstress party that I posted a couple of pictures of awhile ago. Thought you'd appreciate the Togo-style clothes. My outfit was actually made by Schalom, the group that makes the tote bags we sent home and who I made the catalog for (recently sent that home to Rick to show you all!).

I'm in the process of writing another blog entry to let you know what we've been up to lately, but in the meantime, hope these pictures will suffice to let you know that we're still alive and well. Stay tuned!

Work Pictures




Here's a picture of Joe working with the groupement who runs the chicken farm. They're at the local microfinance organization in the picture and are signing the paperwork for the loan that Joe helped them secure to order more baby chickens.

The other picture is me with my group of peer educators, right after they finished doing their skits to demonstrate something that they learned in our health class. They touched on the subjects of HIV/AIDS, stigmatization and discrimination, abstinence, and the proper use of condoms - they were all really well done, and I was proud of them!

Pet Pictures




Here are a couple of pretty good pictures of our dog, Awooyo, and the cat, Elliott. More pictures coming in a few...
