These students (at the 2nde
level--about Algebra II/Geometry) came
by my house during their holiday break to work on a math problem they found in their
recently acquired math books (they were issued donated books, 2 students to a book). Translated, the
problem is: I am 3 times as old as you were when I was the age that you are now. When
you are as old as I am now, the sum of our ages will be 140. How old am I? I would
probably never assign a problem like this except as a puzzle, but it was great fun to work
with them on it. My friend Marla was visiting from Texas,
and she snapped this photo. |

Cathy speaks during a
day-long activity conducted in the small village of Touya by a group of
Cathy's students from the Lyceé Yamwaya in Ouahigouya. The students
conducted a series of activities in nearby villages
to raise consciousness in the
villages about the importance of supporting students in continuing their
education past primary school (which requires them to send their students
to Ouahigouya). These students took the initiative to conduct these
activities when there was some down time from school because of strikes.
Two of them are in the picture above on my porch, and others are in the photos
of villages. A picture of Yacouba, the group's leader, is on the Student
Photo page. These students are terrific !
(Yes, those are
cellular telephones on Cathy's outfit.)

Cathy and Kristi in traditional
Mooré (Cathy) and Jula (Kristi) dresses with Fati, the mother in our host family.
The dresses were an
incredible gift from the family Sanou, with the dresses specially made to correspond to
traditional clothing of our respective sites of service in Burkina Faso.
