Here are a few photos from the picnic we recently had with our group at the land that will one day be our base in Bamako. It is a nice big piece of walled-in land with some good shade trees. The first building is being built now and it will be for storage. The land is still being paid for so that will be the only building until it belongs free and clear to our mission. Up until now the base in Bamako has rented a building to serve as a base. It will be so nice when the base can move to this land and we'll have all this space and there won't be rent to pay.
Here is Jean-Patrick (middle) with some others hanging out and cooking fish over a little charcoal grill for the picnic. Ok, its really only Tantie Deborah who cooked the fish, the guys helped by eating it when it was ready. :)
JP is usually always at school and doesn't get to attend a lot of our meetings and activities. The picnic was on Malian Labor Day so it was a day off work and school.
It was a nice day for a picnic, but I again managed to get myself sunburned. It really isn't that difficult of a concept: very white folks like me need sunscreen when they will be out in the sun for more than a few minutes. Hopefully I'll catch on to this one day soon.
