First of all, I would like to thank Catharine Parker and 'The Reach Club' at Milton Academy for the fundraising that they did for the literacy center. These high schoolers raised $800 selling purses made by Malian woman in my village. The village of Farakala and myself are very grateful to you. Thanks Catharine!!!
And now some pictures as promised :
The literacy center with director Bocar posing in the doorway and the director's office in the background

Spaghetti night at my friend's house!
I showed the old man (village chief) in the pink shirt the digital picture after it was taken and he looked astonished while he said "wow, I have a white beard, I am an old man!!" (apparently he hasn't seen a mirror in quite some time)
More wedding celebrations
Me and my little Malian buggers
