Iferouane goats and women’s co-op

November 27, 2019 by leslieclark Leave a Comment

Every year for 15 years we have done some kind of project in Iferouane, a community that has proved to be very industrious and very worthy of the things we do.  After severe flooding last year we helped rehabilitate potato gardens.  Still suffering from the loss of their herds in that flooding, this year we […]

On to Iferouane

November 27, 2019 by leslieclark Leave a Comment

We got to Iferouane after and exhausting two day drive–the highlight was stopping at Dabous the magnificent neolithic carving of a giraffe–considered to be one of the best in the world.  It is life size! The road was so terrible we arrived to a welcoming committee after sunset–so the planned party was very short and […]

Tamesna Clinic and School

November 27, 2019 by leslieclark Leave a Comment

We had been so busy with the matrone program that we have felt the clinic and school need more of our attention…next year I’m going to have the kids paint another mural for the school.  Those who painted the last one in 2013 have mostly graduated to junior high. Can’t wait. We did have a […]

Tamesna matrones

November 26, 2019 by leslieclark Leave a Comment

Arrival at Tamesna is kind of like coming home.  We put up our decorations (wall hangings, paintings by guess who, fairy and solar lights in the trees) and settled in to await the arrival of the matrones in the afternoon.  Dr. Becky and Pat packed the pills that the matrones need for their work and […]

Back from an amazing mission

November 19, 2019 by leslieclark Leave a Comment

As I always do–I post our news after I have returned from the mission in Niger.  (security reasons) I am sitting in the Paris airport for a few hours so I might as well get started. After the same looooonnnnnngggg trip from LA to Agadez that I have done for 25 years I arrived at […]

Dr Becky’s words from mission 2018

December 8, 2018 by leslieclark 1 Comment

On social media, new mothers can bake bread in their skinny jeans whilst blissfully nursing their newborns, who also sleep through the night. Volunteers on medical missions can miraculously save lives on shoestring budgets staffed by highly skilled, selfless providers in dangerous environments. As a mother and obstetrician on many missions, I see these boast-posts […]

Desert FUN

November 23, 2018 by leslieclark Leave a Comment

Iferouane, known as the gateway to the dunes has been a very important community to the Nomad Foundation–we have worked remotely with them for years, but never done a training there.  They asked us and we responded–the bright side of driving two exhausting days over rubble and craggy, tire eating rocks is that the return […]
