So today I have finally met my supervisor from SECAM (the organization I will work for in Koupela) they are partners with CCFC. His name is Sebastien and I think we will work well together, I am told he works very hard, sometimes through the night and he took his time to talk to me slowly so I think we will get along fine. He also warned me about the native language I will have to learn which is called Morin so I am a little nervous. On Saturday I will leave Ouagadougou to Koupela where I will spend the rest of my time. I now have everything I need for my new home; bed, mat, buckets, table and lamps. I even picked up a cell phone today so the office can get a hole of me, they are really cheap here and it seems as though everyone owns 2 or 3. It finally cooled down a bit today so it is bearable to be outside, this afternoon I get to see some tourist areas which should be interesting and spend my last few nights at the Cathedral. I am excited to start working but also sad to leave Ouaga, everyone here has been amazing and very helpful in helping me to adjust. Here are some links to pictures from the centre of the city in Ouagadougou.

Hi Nicole,
I missed saying good-bye to you, but I’m sure you know that my thoughts and wishes for a safe trip have been with you. I think this is a great way for everyone to have a look into a world that they will likely never see first hand; I hope I will be one of the lucky ones that does. What an amazing journey you have in front of you, I am so proud and excited for you and I look forward to hearing more soon.
Lots of Love Leah
