Currently serving my third year in a small town in Burkina Faso after having spent my first two years in a small village. This is a collection of thoughts to chronicle that service.

a short film by my kids
This is a small project that i did with my kids in Rambo. They love kung-fu movies so we decided to make our own little film. It was a lot of fun teaching them how films were made and all those goes into them. It's not much but it's a start for my village kids.
PLOT:
Beating AIDS
-A woman comes to her man's house where he convinces her to stay the night. Once he does, AIDS comes beating at their door and chases them. Their friends, having heard their cries for help, come rushing to protect them. First there is the shield bearing Condom. Then AIDS is trapped by Fidelity and Getting Tested. The End.

a little about burkina faso
Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta) achieved independence from France in 1960. Repeated military coups during the 1970s and 1980s were followed by multiparty elections in the early 1990s. Current President Blaise COMPAORE came to power in a 1987 military coup and has won every election since then.
Burkina Faso's high population density and limited natural resources result in poor economic prospects for the majority of its citizens. Recent unrest in Cote d'Ivoire and northern Ghana has hindered the ability of several hundred thousand seasonal Burkinabe farm workers to find employment in neighboring countries.

Western Africa, north of Ghana
Geographic coordinates:
