This is the training center, Tubani So


And this is my one-eyed pet tortoise, winkie!
...we had our first class specific to water sanitation this morning, and I couldn't be more excited!! We're learning about soak pits, wells, irrigation, pumps, and other joys.
My roommate decided to leave yesterday, which was probably for the best. We've now lost 2 from our training class, so we're down to 79 trainees. (That's total, for all of mali. Only about 12 of us are in water/san.)
We leave tomorrow morning for our "homestay" in a village, which means I'll be away from the internet for up to 2 weeks.
