Thoughts from Brown Town

More uni photos have gone on flickr. To be transported magically to the page click just here!

I'm getting there slowly but surely with the photos, takes ages to upload them on omy computer :(. You can see some Africa ones like the one below of me, Cathy and Maaika, on my flickr site. ">

Two amazing websites writen by two guys who were out in Burkina when I was there and are still there now (I think) are below. They have pictures and stories and amazing articles and pieces of writing, way better than will be on here so take a look.

Also if you shop on amazon you can get the same books/cds etc. for the same price but also get them to give some money to a charity, eg. SIM the mission organisation I went away with. All you have to do is go to ushopugive
and find SIM in the charity bit and then find amazon in the shop bit (or any other shop that is on there eg. tesco, debenhams, burtons, the list goes on). Then you can shop as normal but also give money!!!! DO IT!

'Where is Burkina Faso?' This was the first thing I wanted to know after being told on the phone that this unheard of country was where I would be spending 7 months of my life. South America, Africa, where? Hopefully the maps will help you if you too are wondering the same thing! The town up at the top of the Burkina map called Djibo is where I was living.
