Here’s a week in pictures for your enjoyment. . .

Homes recently burned in the continuing conflict between Dagbon clans in Yendi.

Sara's House
(From Left to Right: Hassan, Mary, Sara, Me)

Transport- Africa style (Aren’t those goats so cute?)


Market Monkey- I love monkeys! Ok, maybe it's a little sad that he's chained to a pole. But wouldn't you like a pet monkey?


Diare Dam- site of a lot of guinea worm, although I believe that Savelugu is higher in reporting this year than Diare. Doesn’t that water look great to drink with all those sheep right there?


Mosque in progress- the mosque in each village is usually painted a bright color and is by far the nicest building in each village, courtesy of the Saudis and Iranians.


We went to visit the secretary to the Kukuo chief on Friday and were able to see a potential clay source and factory site. Here is our guide digging out the clay with a machete. Should they go ahead with the manufacturing facility, Pure Home Water, will pay the local women of Kukuo to dig out the clay with picks machetes to supply the clay for the filter.
