I could spend all day reading the blogs of volunteers in different countries. One I keep coming back to is Jessica’s Letter from Niger. It’s an exciting time:
There is a rush to do as much planting as possible before the soil dries out, so families spend all day every day out in the fields, working hard to get all of their millet, sorghum, beans, sesame, and peanuts in the ground. Millet is the priority; once an entire field is planted in millet, people will go back and plant the other crops in the spaces between.
I hope their crops survive and do well.
