I got my site assignment today! I'm really excited and really nervous...it's in the Kayes region (pronounced kie) which is the area of Mali closest to Senegal, and in a village of about 550 along a tributary of the Senegal river near Bafoulabe and Mahina. The village is called Drametou, but you probably can't find it on any map because it is so small. I'll be heading out there for my first site visit in about a week, so I'll have a lot more information then...

We attended a Zoo concert last week where the featured band was from Mali. What a small world. We heard several young people in the crowd talking about their time in Mali in the Peace Corps. And the woman sitting behind us was a native of Mali. Several girls were dressed in the wrap skirts and headdresses. The music was excellent. The main singer is Habib Koite.
