I haven't written anything for a long time mainly because I've been really busy with some projects that are starting up. I'll write more in detail about each of them soon, but for now enjoy these pictures.

| This is only half of the camel spider I found in my room. I chopped it in half with a shovel but it turns out it was still alive at this point and shortly jumped up into my face. |
 |
| My work partner Ousman Sy and his older brother sitting by the basin in our newly created garden space learning about how to start a tree nursery |
 |
| Ousman helping to double-dig garden beds |
 |
| The nursery beds for vegetables that have to be transplanted and a morning bed |
 |
| The beginnings of a live fence of trees to protect against the destructive forces of goats and children |
 |
| SAND STORM IS COMING! This was at my Pulaar tutors house. |
 |
| Another work partner of mine Salif Ba cutting up sticks to prop up some mosquito netting on the nursery beds we just seeded to protect them from getting viruses. Right now we have tomato, bitter tomato, hot pepper, and eggplant in the nursery. |
 |
| Baby Ahmadou wearing my hat. The only reason he would let me hold him was because I distracted him with the hat. He is terrified of me. |
 |
| My host sister Kadiata trying to get Ahmadou to look at the camera. |
 |
| My fellow PCV and friend Erin teaching English to some kids in her village when I took a trip to see her and help with a small gardening project at her neighbors house |
 |
| Another sand storm approaches in Erin's village as we sit in her compound |
 |
| My moringa bed has sprouted! |
 |
| Ahmadou again. He is not happy. |
 |
| Kids goofing around in my room |
 |
| Me, my neighbor Houlay, and her sister's baby |
 |
| More kids in my room having a fun time and getting ready to color pictures for my wall |
