My classic-styled Nigerien mud and straw hut

Tama

I received my assignment, and I will be in Tama, a village in the Tahoua region tucked away amidst green lush valleys and lots of trees. I went to the village and met the mayor, who I will be working with. He is very nice and seems to be very motivated and ready for me to get to work there. My house is mud brick with a lot of space in the front yard, where I am hoping to grow a garden and keep a pet goat. Of course, I will keep the goat in a separate area so that it doesn't eat my garden goods. I am finishing training this week and will be sworn in as a volunteer on Thursday. If you want to send letters, my address at my post will be:
