So here's a super-quick update.
Am in Koutiala right now for a quick overnight before going back to site. I've been away from site a fair amount lately. After April In Service Training, I spent two weeks at site and then went to Ghana for two weeks with fellow PCVs Beth, Phil, Rachel, Nicole, and Ben. I've uploaded some of those pictures onto facebook at:

Also, see some extra pictures from Mali at:

Things are going well at site, though I'm still getting settled in after being away for so long. Hopefully will be getting some projects in order soon. Update on that later . . .
