I’ve been doing a lot of youth seminars recently, in which we talk about health and gender and career planning. Actually we mostly laugh and eat and don’t understand what a stereotype means, because there is no word for that in local language, and who cares really?

At least that’s how I feel sometimes. But they are a lot of fun and I have to remind myself that change comes petit a petit. Anyway, here are some photos for you:

Here are some participants from one workshop:

Dust storms here are crazy, coating everything in a fine layer of filth and making your eyes and nose and throat burn. Here are a few pictures from one of the dust storms at my site. It makes for pretty photos and less hot days, but the negatives still outway the benefits. The last photo is from the road into site in the morning after my run. Niger isn’t all sand and dryness!

This is the wall and outside of my house. Those are my two windows:
