around Goumori

A few more images from my neighborhood:

My region recently celebrated Ganni - a traditional annual party that serves as a good opportunity to get dressed up in matching fabric.

like most neighborhoods, folks catch up on local news at the barbershop

My good friend Awale runs the local pharmacy for his dad. In addition to helping me learn the Bariba language, Awale tought me to kill a chicken, season it with salt, hot peppers, and MSG, and roast it over charcoal. Awale is also going to help me promote the use of moringa leaves to supplement the diets of malnourished children in our village.
