Compoundin' around...

Your classic shot of school children anywhere on the African Continent.
A little Congolese game-making with Eric and the local kids - we even played a French version of "Duck, Duck, Goose!" that became a huge hit!
Sucking on the Sassou....woops, I mean Saffou (A joke you may not get unless you know about Congo's reigning autocrat and how close his name is to a tasty sour fruit that grows in every yard.)
Maman Louise, the family matriarch, roasting manioc in banana leaves for the blind residents of the Salvation Army compound.
A carousel like play area for young children about 20 feet away from the room where we were sleeping...any guesses as to what time we woke up?

  1. The shot with the carousel thing looks like an old Micu family gathering back in the days of yore.
