The road to the village -where I met some
wonderful people!!
The Village family and Me! They remain in my thoughts,
my heart, and my prayers! What a wonderful group
of people. I was truly blessed to know them and call
them my friends!!
This is the Matriarch of the family. She is a very
dear friend of mine!
The sons of the family we visited.
This is the area in front of the house where we
always sat with the family to eat, talk, and laugh.
This is the house where the three families
live. There is one building but three separate
doors to enter each family's section.
The corn removed from the ears; waiting for
the pouring and pounding to follow.
The women pour the corn back and
forth several time before pounding.
The women pound the corn until it becomes mush
and they use it to make their next meal.
This is how you eat at the village. Everyone eats
from one communal bowl using your hands.
This young lady is making a tea that they serve
after lunch. It is very sweet and tasty.
Nana & J - check out his hat and my Malian
head dress!
Krista in Malian garb!
C, E, & J - The communal well for the family
is behind E's head.
Village children - they love for anyone to play with
them and chase them as I did when I was there!
John's dear friend and his daughter.
Some of the other village children. Aren't they cute!
