Mirror mirror at the wall
2007/Week 9
The children love the reflecting window of my motorcycle helmet. From all sides noses, mouths, teeth and ears are being inspected. I just put it on to ride from baobab to crocodile pond (and to arrive home safily).
The one and only Issi
2007/Week 8
Last year, Bibir gave a mill to a women group in Soulou. As they were experiencing some bookkeeping problems, we went to 'recycle' their training last week. Three out of the thirty women can read and write, but only one is natural at it. The ministering angel was Issi, a man out of the village not belonging to the group, but assisting the women to write and count with a lot of love. Issi is the opposite of the cliché of a (Burkinese?) man who prefers his wife at home cooking and taking care of the children.
Sunbathing
2007/Week 7
White tourists are not alone to adore the sun. The less water in the lakes, the more visible the crocodiles become.
Black magic with your mobile phone
2007/Week 6

Next to the well in a godforsaken garden there is a platform. For the fetish? Not at all: if you mount the three stairs and you direct your phone well, you can receive the CELTEL network (one of the three operators in Burkina Faso). Salif has tested it with his own machine and it works! |
