What's been going on

1. Sunshine looks like obama, right?
2. We went to Bumpeh to visit Salifu, a kid i met in November who has had a really crappy life...he's a disabled orphan, and lived for 7 years on the streets of Ftown, dragging himself around with his arms. He'd fallen through the cracks, but this British guy I met set him up with a small room and school fees, so now he's fairly self-sufficient, and has a life. We brought him an Obama tshirt because we knew it would make him a rock star in the village.
3. Kids in Bumpeh excited by white people with cameras
4. MORFA's trees got eaten by locusts while I was in Mali. Still trying to sort out what should have been/should be done. The leaves will grow back, so it's not disasterous...yet.
5. Moringa Pioneers! These T shirts were requested and eagerly anticipated by MORFA, and man were they happy to get them. T shirts matter here. Actually, as I walked around Koidu that day, people yelled 'MORFA!' and gave the thumbs up, so that's cool.
