Brush fires


We've been having brush fires around my village lately. The make me nervous but no one else seems too concerned. I took these pictures the night before last.

Bubakar and his cow

My host brother Bubakar asked me to show these pictures of him and one of his cows to my friends in the US, so, here they are.


Project Pictures

When we began most of the "faucets" looked like this; Broken off and plugged with a piece of wood or plastic
Clearing the broken bits out of the pipes to attach the new faucets was a challenge.
The only working tap needed to be tied up to be turned off.
