Hi friends,

We just wanted to write you a quick note to say that we are not able to upload pictures to the blog from our village, despite our best efforts. We can basically check e-mail and upload text, but very little else. We really like showing you guys what life is like rather than describing it, so we're going to just compose a horde of blog posts here at site and upload them in Sikasso, our regional capital, when we go next. That means no more awesome photo posts until maybe late March, but look out for them then! Blog posts to come: first few weeks at site, photos of our house, and themed blog posts about stuff like gardens, water, food/cooking/our market, day-to-day living, malaria, our counterpart organizations, making shea butter, and more! We have a lot of great stuff to show you, we promise!

<3 Cass and Carolyn
