Its been soooo hard to keep in touch with everyone and I miss you all so much. Finally a friend, Carolyn, offered to help me open this blogspot up. I hope you enjoy the pictures and some writing about the happenings over here in Niger. The picture below is a voice class I helped teach with Fati Mariko, a wonderful Nigerien singer (google her!). The giraffe on the heading photo lives close to my town. When I moved into Birni N Gaoure, the car passed through a group of 20 giraffes or so just eating by the road---I think it was a sign of good luck!
Welcome!
