A few weeks ago, I assisted the Ministry of Education and an association for the promotion of education in Burkina with a workshop colloboration. Basically, we went to specific villages, which the association had already established a rapport with, and emphasized the importance of primary school education. It was a bit difficult for us Volunteers because the workshop was in Fulfulde, but ca va aller... it was definitely a learning experience.


Here are the three teachers at this specific primary school. Normally, primary school is 6 years, but this school had only three classrooms, therefore, three teachers and only three grade levels...

Nearby one of the villages where we worked. The houses are made of clay/earthen walls and straw roofs. The use of straw to build the roof poses no problem against rain, considering we won't see rain again until June.
