Hello

After several comments, I changed a setting and normally it should be easier to add a comment without being a member. Thank you all for your comments and essays ...

Today as saying "Amadou & Mariam"
"Sunday in Bamako
is the wedding day."
There were no fewer than 4 around the house. These are sheets which are mounted (because of rain possible) with lots of chairs set up on the roundabout in front of the house or where people congregate. Musicians play traditional music. Cest nice but it all day! Is this the night? I would say .......

Otherwise this morning I went by taxi with the children of the house: Djeneba 10 years, 2.5 years Moussa, Pope Saydou 6 years and 5 years Adama zoo lion, leopard, monkeys, crocodiles and even a small elephant snake, mule, pigs, warthogs and also various birds: ostrich, pelican ..... All that world was a bit apathetic and exhausted by the heat but the kids were thrilled. Anyway I found the zoo better maintained than the last time I went.
I'll try to offer to organize an outing with the children's center Banconi to take them over there because they never leave the neighborhood.
This afternoon I went to see David's mother and other members of the house. It's nice to see that I am always very well received.

Friday, I visited the nursery in Bamako! it is a very clean and well maintained, a priori they have many partners in France because I met several toubabs.
Director explains that right now they have 98 children (initially setting could accommodate 30!) Fortunately they have recently done work for expansion.
They welcome children from 0-5 years in what they find time to adopt these children at age 5 and those remaining are placed in foster care here in Mali.
They also keep children with disabilities with no age limit because nobody wants them and there is no structure to accommodate them. Some are very severe disabilities (mental and motor).
The director told me that often girls brides the village came to Bamako to find a little job right or else to pay their dowry. It turns out they find themselves in a "state of pregnancy" and happens when the rainy season (like now) and they must return to the village they can take the baby, otherwise they run the risk of being dismissed by their families. Since abandonment is illegal in Mali they lay the baby in secret on a trash or rubbish and that a passerby who alerted the police who then comes to pick up the baby and takes him to the nursery.

Most children at this time babies are divided into different rooms: less 1 month, less than 3 months ... There was a particularly big with not much trouble breathing: I think it hard to start that one ...
A little later they are a bit bigger and there a little girl about 1 year clung to my leg. Even if the center looks very well cared for they are still children who need lots of disorders.

I come back to spend some time together with Anne Marie, who comes from next week to do a small job out there for 3 weeks.

If I had a hell of a surprise because Moumouni, a youth of Burkina Faso where I had a first site 5 years ago and had helped by paying her tuition at school made me a text message to remind (as it did 2 or 3 times / year), I told him I was in Mali, he replied in text message that I needed to "crawling" to call what I did and he told me that since I was in Mali he would make the road from Ouagadougou to come see me! Too much anyway. Apparently he had his tank and is the university where he teaches economics. I talked to Ali (my landlord) who said "there is no problem we put a mattress on the floor! The hospitality of Africians! Continued ... That

for today, sorry I forgot my cable so I can put pictures.
Tomorrow is school and the afternoon is a celebration of the center

first weekend

Hello Here is the weekend and not much planned except to rest, as far as possible because at home there are 5 children and this morning to believe that they had decided to cry and cry by turns!

This afternoon they are 2 friends Yaye (their mom) who came to visit him.

Phew a bit of calm in the cyber ...

Yesterday I returned from AEA to take pictures of the entire team before they go on vacation.

Here are a few:

the street before arriving:

the absence of my own photos here are some pictures found on deBamako the net :

Have you noticed the mannequin designed the Barber?

Malaria Disease Affects Which Body Part

Like a fish in water ......

Well then the work began.

I go to center in the morning starting at 8:30 so we have to leave home at 7.30 am (even when I go to Reims to see my pharmacist is rare that I leave at that hour!) But at least he fresh buses are less crowded and the road is less congested, even if there is already a lot of animation.
Do not believe they are very respectful of the times: the time it's time.
We start with small operations (2-5 yrs.) They were 60 yesterday and 30 today, they are separated into smaller more manageable groups. Unfortunately while they were working with a group waiting for the other: it recruits volunteers! The course
small place in the yard or in a courtyard with chairs.
Yesterday we did a play with farm animals: I now know all the other names of farm animals in Bambara, as well the children do not speak French. Around 10 pm
is the taste, at least for children who have been able to make or have room to buy a plate of fonio because the center can not handle the taste of children, lack of partners. At 11 h
the young leave the center and not return until tomorrow.

If you have any song ideas for actions, patrols or other childish I'm all ears!

There is also a class of larger (5 -7: approx. 30 or 40 children depending on the day) that have classes with a teacher (intern) because next year they joined (inch ' allah) the first year of school.
This course is to awaken and prepare to return because they do not go to kindergarten and not in the family they are awake. Yesterday and today
instit was not so small after I tried to take care of them: not easy because French is also very average. We try to do writing exercises and reading of letters and numbers, not easy when you're asked to write C and the child writes 6 or so that F becomes 9. There's no denying it's a profession ... but we'll get there. There's also a lot of discipline to do because they are very demanding (unlike here) and want to meet all or come to the table all at once.

This course takes place in a room below under the sheets so it's very hot.
I have not dared leave the camera because it usually causes a lot of jostling.
Monday there is a party held to celebrate the rights of the child and this is an opportunity to get into the picture. The big stop
courses to 12 and also return the next day.

the afternoon there during adolescent literacy in Bambara. They are mostly girls, who never attended school and can neither read nor write nor speak French.
To clarify that the country's official language is French and that only children can go to school will learn. Otherwise they speak different dialects along ethnic lines. Bambara is the most widely spoken. Listed logistics

I'm like a fish in water: no problem with the bus I have a change to do on my commute and I mark thanks ............... . pharmacies and yes we never change!

the afternoon I would go to the center and in some occasions like tomorrow where he taped the festivities, but otherwise I would take advantage to make other visits: now I have to go downtown in the center listening of street children.

In terms of social samu they ask me to call after July 6 because it is the holidays.

I met volunteers from the MEA (Malian Association for the evicted), I'll talk later because I plan to go see them, they seem to do a great job.

Like what is voluntary when it meets volunteers and we tell stories of volunteers .... Listed

course weather is warm, I enjoy coming in AEA there is air conditioning in offices, there are severe thunderstorms with lots of rain in the evening but only for now

Oops they call me

first day

's it, the contact is made with Aide et Action (AEA): 1st working meeting this morning.

The meeting went really well, we were 6 people and you could clarify my action:

I start tomorrow morning at the center of Banconi first as an observer and animation with educators. Overall I would most often there and in the afternoon I would go to Action Aid if there are workshops that may interest me.

Banconi welcomes children in great difficulty but not yet fully in the street (approx 60 children per day from 3 to 18 years).

I would also meet another center, which was supported by AEA and now is independent and who collects children are totally left to themselves.

Beside I contacted the Samu Social de Bamako and the Malian Red Cross to offer them my services marauding night as I do with the French Red Cross.

AEA also introduced me to a big national project on preventing HIV / AIDS, funded by the European Union, in which they participated and which is closing at the moment. I'll talk later. Besides tonight's on TV a national report is 20 minutes by AEA on this project.

Regarding the trip to Mopti, it was decided to shorten finalemnt because the literacy center is closed in the summer when the center of Bamako is open all year. I would go only 15 days on this region (from 10 to 25 July) to meet with all partners and doing interviews for AEA Paris. I'd be with a manager. They had planned to visit me at the same time as the Dogon and I know already, I asked them to take me in Djenne, the historical with the famous mosque Heritage Site by Unesco. That

for work, the logistics as it is organized:

To go to AEA and also Banconi, you have to cross any Bamako. This morning a driver picked me up. Side cap that I do not really changes the atmosphere of Paris but there is no egg, which leads me!

It will do the same tomorrow to drop me off at the center and after I start one in the local bus! It will be better still to be autonomous in terms of transport. Tonight I could go alone by taxi and I recognized the neighborhood and home! but that energy to my sense of direction ...

Okay so I like a bit of time, here's some info on Mali and Bamako :

The Mali is a country in Africa West with common borders with Mauritania and Algeria to the north, Niger to the east, Burkina Faso and Cote d'Ivoire to the south, Guinea to the southwest, and Senegal in the west. The highest point is the Hombori Tondo (1,155 m) located in the central part of the country.
French colony from 1883, Mali (then Sudanese Republic) became independent in 1960.

People is 12.5 million.

Bamako is the capital, on the Niger River in south-west. In 2006, the city had 1,690,471 inhabitants (Bamako). His pace of urban growth is currently the highest in Africa (and sixth in the world). Bamako is the administrative center of the country, an important river port and commercial center for the whole region around. Bamako, the capital is located in district and sub-divided into six communes run by elected mayors. Adama Sangare is the mayor of the District of Bamako.Située on the banks of the River Niger, called Djoliba ("the river of blood"), the city of Bamako built in a basin surrounded by hills. It stretches from west to east and 22 km from north to south for 12 km, an area of 267 sq. km. The District of Bamako has a reserved forest, the Koulouba which covers an area of 2010 ha.

Voila for now ............

Beetel Service Center

Good finish!

Hello



Here it has arrived. The scenery begins at the airport with the jostling to retrieve the luggage and if one is content to take from 2 bags of 23 kg, is less so on arrival when to hang on to his cart and that carriers no longer have the right to return within the confines of the airport !!!... But it is Ali and I found his whole family.

Saturday afternoon, I could do my little tour that was so dear to me, moving and too short (but it does not matter, I would go back alone). Otherwise the weekend to adjust the small formalities practices to simplify the daily story: the acquisition of portable accommodation and rest to heat. First outings to pubs history getting into the bath: I believe we'll talk about the plan in September !!...

Tomorrow I meet with Action Aid and the work can begin ....

That following the next issues
