After that food and drinks were served. We were amazed at the food that came out of Gladys kitchen and wondered how she could afford this. But, as Gladys(wearing yellow and green top) later explained, a lot of the food, drinks, birthday cake, music were donated by her friends. She has a lot of good friends as she is the kind of person who, in return, is very generous. We are very lucky to have met her and that she agreed to come work for us.
The last highlight was the birthday cake. Each of the seven candles was lit by a special person. And then Kadija was joined by her father and mother to blow them out! A perfect ending to a very special party for a very special, and much loved girl!
A couple of travellers who also teach at the University of Southern Mississippi (Betty in photography; Bob in political science). The Sierra Leone blog is from our academic year there where Bob was a Fulbright scholar and Betty photographed (2008-2009).
The Oaxaca blog is from an earlier human rights trip to Mexico when state (mostly) and federal police were attacking demonstrating teachers, farmers and others.
Formerly Bob was a correspondent for The Christian Science Monitor based in Kenya where my wife worked as a photojournalist.
