Another baby!


A friend of ours through the shop, Maryama, had a baby girl about a month ago. We were able to visit them both last week.

Sweet baby girl sleeping. Check out her earings...she has double peirced ears with a twine like material. Amazing.

There is nothing like holding a sleeping baby. In many of the smaller villages like Malika, many babies and young children are quite frightened of white people simply because they don't see many. It's wonderful to be with a new young baby who does not have any of these fears because they haven't yet noticed skin tone.

Maryama's home that she shares with many family members.

This is a pretty typical home in our village.
