Gebrehiwet, Mulat, Gebru, and Negussie (from left to

Boards in the school of Wouala (WP #11). We
pitched our tents in this school yard. The lessons on the boards are
surprisingly sophisticated. But I am not sure that they are very useful, since
I did not meet a single kid in Wouala speaking
English.

Kids in the school yard. Here we make them dance on our cell phone music.

Ethiopia boasts an incredible variety of birds. These shining blue birds are
ubiquitous in most regions of the country.
