After flying ten thousand kilometres over two days with a ghastly white night in Charles de Gaulle, I have arrived safe and sound in Burkina Faso! My lovely family away from family, the Zidas, picked me up at Ouagadougou International Airport and took me back to their home in Yako. No, there are no neighbouring towns named Whacko and Dot.
Here is my cell phone number:
011 226 7500 2125
Please call me anytime, it's so nice to hear voices from home. Don't worry too much about the time difference, I'm going to put my phone on silent when I'm sleeping or otherwise unable to answer.
Mama Zida is taking me to Manga, her village, this weekend. I'll meet her mother and go to a couple of funerals. We leave at 6am Saturday morning. I'll be back on Tuesday, at which point I'll visit the orphanage and gather info for an interim report on its status. For those who don't know, I volunteered in this orphanage when I was last in Yako 6 years ago. Mama Zida runs it, and it's called L'Orphelinat Teega Wende.
Hopefully shortly after that I'll get some Internet access and will actually be able to post these.
