s to the local NGO. Jeff, who works for CAMA, and Robert who leads Accedes- a burkina NGO. They were the right people for the task and did a wonderful job of interviewing stakeholders and drawing up recommendations.
John and I are hopeful that the result of these meetings will be a more defined role for us at work here and a strengthening of the NGO.
I apologize that I didn't take better pictures during the week- we had a dinner at our house and one at the head of the local NGO's house, but all you get are two dimly lit meeting pics :-)

Here's Hannah- she's 3 1/2 and has the same bday as Sam. She loves playing pretend and I am one of her regular play pretend partners.
Our dinners with the IM team every Friday (or in this case Saturday), are a highlight of our week.
Sam has been into wearing our shoes. These are some of his favorites because they stay on well and make a cool noise when he stomps around in them.
Mama Elize and Emmanuella are also a joy for us. Sam gives both of them kisses every day.
Sam had fun playing with these kids too- the two in the middle are two of Charles' three kids.
And good news- our back up hard drive arrived!! We're going to see what we lost when we plug that in. Still no luck posting videos as we're waiting for a power cord for our regular computer which has the necessary video shrinking software. Actually, I'm trying to load a video now, and if it comes through I'll post it, but it's been 15 minutes and it's at 4%.
