 Bill grabbed his videocamera and we headed down to the river for the sunrise. We watched a little boy wash his horse. He noticed us and smiled. Then out of nowhere children gathered around us and we were never alone again.
The children play with dolls, we noticed all of the dolls in the village were white. The children attend a new school built with donations from Colorado. They used little sticks to count and then work out the math problems on individual chalk boards. When they have the answer they all hold up their chalkboards at once so the teacher can check their work. These kids are smart, passionate and eager to show the world what they know.

We watched women gather water from the well in the center of the village, they use it to wash their babies, clothes and dishes. The women do most of the work and carry just about everything on their heads.
