Troisième jour à Bamako. Le programme est toujours aussi chargé. Et pour la première fois j’ai vu la pluie. Quel soulagement. Il n’a plut que 10 minutes, mais à verse. La pluie est ici providentielle ; elle s’invite without warning and leaves almost immediately. It is impressive as it cools the atmosphere and as it also turns most streets of Bamako in giant mud field.
The day began with a visit to the fourth library in which PU Bamako intervenes library that we had not had the opportunity to visit the day before. After libraries Sikoulou, The Brotherhood, Korofina North is now one of Djélibougou. This is one of the oldest libraries in Bamako, but it's certainly one in which there is more inertia. The lack of a director little invested and a librarian in place as if it was shelved. Our meeting, alongside Yaya was the opportunity to review the adequacy of our collaboration. This is not necessarily easy to distinguish between sincere about those cranes.
The visit that followed led us Helen, Boubacar and me to meet "the Malian Association for physically disabled people." Our interlocutors are physically handicapped who all have the desire to facilitate the integration of disabled people in society. Two courses in office organized with PU helped promote access à l’emploi pour certains bénéficiaires de ces formations. Autre association, autre cause, celle d’une association qui réunit les Maliens rapatriés de tous les pays du globe pour organiser leur réintégration. Cette association a accueilli des formations en bureautique et montage de projets. A la suite de ces formations, l’association a décroché deux financements de plus d’un million de francs CFA de la part d’un bailleur international. Ces fonds permettent de faire vivre plus de quinze personnes autour des activités de maraîchage et de teinturerie.
Enfin la journée s’est terminée par la rencontre avec l’association Woiyo Kondeye, ce qui signifie « Area aid and trade for women "in Songhai language. It is an association with which we work on projects of health and nutrition, office (as usual) and assembling projects. This association occurs mainly in organizing kitchens. These kitchens allow women trainers to train other women in the basics of child nutrition and hygiene. Thus, the action in favor of this association has a real multiplier effect to a large audience of women. And it also projects a sense that one wants to help.
Impacts, Impacts, impacts is my BOSS will be glad to hear: pVoila is for this busy day. Promised, in my next post I'll stop propaganda about our projects in Bamako and I will speak more of the city and its inhabitants.
Kamba (A later in Bambara)!
