Bananso Village. Mali. Feb. 07.


Heading to Bananso village, the road was no more than a
dusty track through the bush. I was invited to Yacouba's
home.Yacouba worked on my team at the Syama mine site.

My friend Yacouba in front of his home.

Cooking is all done on an open fire. Food and grain stored
in the little shed.

Yacouba's family.

1 of Yacouba's 2 wives and his sons.


Yacouba offered me his 8 year old daughter for my second
wife. Without offending him, I declined and told him 1 wife
was enough for me.

Villagers happy to see us and be in a photo.


Everyone came out of the woodwork to be in the photo.


Dry and dusty, and everything made of mud.

This is not as easy as it looks.
