The chief brought four chickens to our host in gratitude for the health clinic and to bless us.  They were plucked, butchered and served to us. A crowd of boys gathered around to clean out the intestines, wrap them around a stick and grill them- everything else went into our lunch.


We were served chicken and inyam, a gigantic root vegetable like manioc- 
The generosity of the Burkinabé culture is beautiful.




I thought I was being handed a newborn- this little guy is 3 months old, and has a sibling barely able to walk, I'm guessing mama is trying to nurse both of her babies, and struggling to have enough nourishment for all three of them.
