The "Mother Leaders" Asta and I have been working with on maternal and child health issues. 

The high school director accepting the water filter that the A2Empowerment scholarship recipients raised money to buy for the school.
The "Hommes Dynamiques" (both experienced and newly trained) after receiving their certificates of participation.  They will also be working on maternal and child health issues.

The Mbororo family outside of Kandje (another village near Danfili) who were incredibly appreciative when we rode out to vaccinate their kids.  They fed us 3 separate meals (during a 2 hour visit) and sent me home with a chicken and big bag full of leaves to make sauce with!  The man in the white is the oldest brother, and therefore chief of their encampment.

The view of most of the encampment from the entrance.  Each grouping is for one brother and his wives and children.  Their cattle graze in the surrounding "brousse" and all of the green next to the houses is corn that will grow to be higher than the roofs in a couple months.

My adopted "postmates" who have kept me sane and are getting ready to head back to the States this summer

The chicken I was "gifted" outside of Kandje
