"With all respect, Sahib, you have little to teach us in strength and toughness. And we do not envy your restless spirit. Perhaps we are happier than you? But we would like our children to go to school. Of all the things you have, learning is the one we most desire for our children."
~Urkien Sherpa to Sir Edmund Hillary,
the first man to summit Mt. Everest

Happy Easter

I celebrated Easter at a friend’s house in East of Burkina Faso. We went to Church, played baseball, and had a bonfire (kind of regretted that decision on such a hot night). Check out this video of me preparing the Easter feast. The butcher is also the janitor at my friend’s school. The student helping is known affectionately as “The Kid Who Does Everything” because, well, he does everything. Happy Easter!
