If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there." — Lewis Carroll. From Burkina with love. Thursday, 8 September 2011. Some people are starting to wonder whether I have disappeared from this planet! It is true I have been very quiet - too quiet admittedly - but in my defence: I have been very busy too :-)! And time REALLY flies (being already at month 7! Here in Burkina, and there’s so much to do still, so I am determined to get stuck in and get the work done! Next update coming soon!

If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there." — Lewis Carroll. From Burkina with love. Wednesday, 13 July 2011. Ça fait deux jours! When people haven’t seen each other in a while they greet each other like this, meaning.it has been a while :-). And it has! Time flies here in Burkina and I cannot believe I have been gone now for 5 months - only one more month and I have to make the decision whether I want to extend my one-year mandate or not! Are you really sure? The focus groups we...

If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there." — Lewis Carroll. From Burkina with love. Monday, 30 May 2011. Tiebele, 21 May 2011. Wanting to go - but having had to cope with the horrifying huge hordes of tourists in Bruges for years, I can honestly say they have no idea what they’re talking about! Apart from a little entrance fee and (interesting) guided tour, it was really quiet and peaceful, and we were the only ‘tourists’ around. The houses have different shapes, depending on wh...

Hidden within a quiet forest, the friendly yoghourt-making nuns of La monastère des Benedictines de Koubri. Welcome you for a silent (re-)treat: no sound but the birds singing, crickets chirping, insects buzzing, leaves rustling and.well, nuns singing in the (very) early morning mass :). The hotel is set in a nice g...

If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there." — Lewis Carroll. From Burkina with love. Tuesday, 28 June 2011. My house in Ouaga. Inevitably people are curious to know what life is really like here for us volunteers.

Or a nightwatch (if we'd want to hire them). Up until 5th of July* . Finally and very...

It all started with - what seemed to be - a fairly simple and straightforward 'what-to-do. So there you go. Call or send text to every. Number in contact list of mobile phone to tell the news. Write email to all. Obviously don’t forget facebook/blogs/. Keep talking about it ad nauseam. Find ways to let the rest of the world know too. So far so good.

In the evening and a day-trip to the c ascades de Karfiguela. And the Dômes de Fabedougou. Near Banfora, a town 1,5 hours away from Bobo. It was great! Traditional masks in Bobo - which are still used in ceremonies and local festivals. In Australia my pet was ‘Joey, the bardi grub’ - here I found ‘Esther, the giant. Since I keep moving house I also ...
