Better get under cover, Sylvester. There’s a storm blowin’ up, a whopper. Just speakin’ the vernacular of the peasantry. Poor little kid, I hope she gets home all right. (professor marvel in Wizard of Oz)

trusting that we will all make it home all right

Village of Cobo

with 3 comments


On May 25 Cobo, the village pictured in this video (taken in April) and on this blog suffered a brush fire and 20 huts burned along with food supplies and seeds for planting. If you want to get involved, we need volunteers to build in southeastern Senegal or you can use the below link to make a donation. I will keep you updated as to the rebuild. Thank you! Love.
