One man's attempt to share stories, impressions and ideas as he serves just over two years in the Peace Corps in the west African nation of Burkina Faso.

here's a photo of a man who strolled past as we were studying french yesterday at a local women's artisan workshop/space:
Hey, glad to see some posts! Do you get to wear some awesome outfits like that? What do you call people from burkina faso? Burkina Fasans? What do they think about Obama? Any ideas? Also, just heard this story -http://www.radionetherlands.nl/currentaffairs/region/africa/081028-slavery-africa-niger - on npr, made me think of you. What's the deal with slavery where you are at? Apparently it's only been illegal in Niger for like 5 years?? Anyways, we're gearing up for our big Halloween party, maybe i can send you some pics. Stay safe!
chuckie, im getting an outfit made for me by my neighborhood tailor, there are millions of them here, and ill put up the pic at that time!! as far as slavery, there is definitely crime rings around that trick people and send them off illegally, its a crime issue here as well!
