I think it may be all the dolo (local beer made out of mill) Ryan drank during the Holidays, but he forgot to mention a few other very important events which also took place in 2007. We apologize and will rectify things a bit here:
* We welcomed a few more babies into the world this year: Jeremie (Isa et Pascal's #1), Sydney (Christie and Lee's #1), Noah (Terri and Steve's #1), Abram (Michelle and Brian's #1). Kinda looks like a mini baby boom. No, don't be expecting any news from us anytime soon.
* Ryan spent a good portion of his Summer out at Zenger Farm playing with the veggies
Of course all our important events of 2007 cannot be listed here, but we tried our best!
Short update on life in our village:
Ryan continues his "bike-a-thon" to all 18 villages of our department for his site study, accumulating about 60 miles a week! I continue to help out at the local clinic and CREN (Centre de Readaptation et Education Nutritionelle), meet with school directors, etc, to determine our village's resources and needs. We are currently in the capitol for 4 days to do some work/ research/ grocery shopping. It's nice to have electricity and running water for a few days! We even watched a movie yesterday. It was awesome!
Keep sending us e-mails, we love hearing about what's going on in America. And for those who sent us x-mas cards here in Africa, thank you, we got them. We'll likely be back online in another 3-4 weeks.
A la prochaine (or "Takoane")

As a member of Friends of Burkina Faso, I'm reaching out to all current PCVs in Burkina right now. We are trying to win "America's Giving Challenge" and we need your help. I'm hoping that you'll have internet access soon and that you'll be willing to upload the widget from the project website onto your blog. Help spread the word so that this project wins an additional $50,000! Merci.
