From the Field

Midwife volunteer–Pat Manzon’s thoughts on Mission 2017

November 8, 2017 By leslieclark

  As the floral henna design fades from my feet, thoughts of Tamesna and Niger sneak into my consciousness. It is cool here on the east coast which I have been enjoying as a pleasant change. The heat of the desert can at times seems all enveloping, annoyingly, relentlessly, hot. It is difficult for me […]

Dr. Becky’s report of mission 2017

November 8, 2017 By leslieclark

I departed the US on October 3 and up until that date, was repeatedly required to explain the location and importance of Niger to anyone I could engage about my mission.

Big plans for next year–expansion of matrone training–cataract mission

October 26, 2017 By leslieclark

Not all work

October 25, 2017 By leslieclark

Having finished the matrone training we got ready to go to a big Wodaabe festival.  This was supposed to happen last year and got postponed, so I was anxious for the new team to see this remarkable thing.  We had a morning to kill since it was windy and we knew the dancing would not […]

Junior high in Agadez and Ingal

October 23, 2017 By leslieclark

All ten of our top class graduated from grammar school and were accepted in junior high school, but there are none available in the “bush” where the nomads live so we thought long and hard to find the best solution for the kids and their parents.  At first we thought to create a location in […]
