Life in Niamey

We thought the since the last post was a little heavy, we would lighten this one up.

Here are some pictures of some of the activities in Niamey.

First, over the last two weeks about 20 SIL people from nearby countries have been learning Translation 101.  These are the people from the local villages who go back and record the language and then they bring it back here where NGOs, who can't travel, help them put it in writing.  They had a graduation ceremony and Sally and I helped pass out the certificates.

 Sally went to an orphanage with the son of a friend of ours who lives here.  Kids in their school go on a regular basis.  The girl holding the baby on her lap is also a child of SIL parents.

 This is a picture of Sally's "seamstress."

One of our jobs is to go shopping.  This is the Petit Marche.  At 4:00 it is chaos.

 Finally our church.  In English.
