Euro, Malika, and Alima
Fatao (he was NOT happy that I was leaving them)
Another post! Aren't you excited.
Last week, while in Ouahigouya, I got to visit my host family!! Euro (Ousmane), Alima, Fatao, and Malika are doing Very well. Malika is getting over malaria (or "pallu" here, which may actually be a number of maladies, but they just call it all malaria) but she's bigger than last year and after a while got used to having me there again. She even smiled at one point! That's quite an unusual occurrence with Burkinabe babies, usually they cry when they see a white person (amazingly entertaining for the mothers and observers, less entertaining for me.) And Fatao is hardly any bigger. I told him how big he was getting (lie), and Alima was like ha, nope, he's the same size. But he's still super cute and awesome. And my host dad is going to take the BAC this June!! He's an elementary school teacher, which only requires that you pass 10th grade and then do teacher training, but the BAC (from the French system) is MUCH harder and a huge accomplishment. I so hope he passes- he's great.
