Caravan to class-2
The kids have been prepped for our visit today, and maybe because of the festival and the proximity to Timbuktu,they are more familiar with the sight of toubabs, and there are smiles and laughter and lots of handshaking and photo taking.
The second village, Mora, has a smaller school in the process of renovation, and the kids are learning their French and their letters as new rows of brick are cemented on to build the walls. Hopefully donations to Caravan to Class will provide funds for uniforms for this school. In addition, Caravan to Class will assume responsibility for five additional schools in the area in June 2012, upping the need level exponentially.

Education is the best possibility for a way out of the cycle of marginal living and despair and ultimately anger and violence that is a consequence of hopelessness. Hope you also check out (and like) Caravan to class on facebook as well. And if by a bit of synchronous magic you are in touch with a foundation that offers grants for such important grassroots enterprises, please be in touch on the Caravan website.
