After having visited the market, we headed out to the infamous century old Baobab forest - another of my top 20 Niger places.
The perfect place for a picnic, where you can lie in the shade and watch the people pass by… It was wonderful!
And it all ended with a photo shoot of the two Scandinavian […]
We had planned this weekend to take Haruna to the race track, but when Saturday arrived, the races had been moved to Dogo. Seeing we were up for a little adventure, we decided to hit the roads (and what bad roads it was!) and go to Dogo and show Haruna some of the typical Nigerien […]
This week, we had a visitor from Maradi. Meet Haruna, an American expat TCK (and MK) who grew up in Jos (Nigeria) and who is now back in West Africa for a year long term of agricultural volunteer work. Although Anette and I have been busy at work, we took turns to show him Zinder. […]
Today, we were back on the road again, going as far as north of Tanout town. I hope I don’t spoil your wonderful (cold) winters showing all these pictures of beautiful sunshine and warm winds!
Unfortunately, it has hardly rained since Anette and I arrived over a month ago, and as a consequence, Niger is drying […]
While we were out in the bush today, we encountered a nomad family slightly south of Tanout town.
They were watering their animals, and I did not hesitate to bring out my camera.
I must say, I have always had very much respect for the nomads’ beloved creatures and previously always kept a safe distance to their […]
For the past eleven days, I have been out on the road on a daily basis (except for one morning and one afternoon). Together with my Eden colleague, we’ve been going from village to village interviewing a lot of people and documenting their lives.
Despite the heat and the unpleasant little insects that the rainy season […]
Today I was back at the field station - although this time without Anette, who has so much work at the office right now!
I’m really starting to love the field station - never used to be my favorite before, but now that I’m learning from our researcher, I find it really interesting and fun! Not […]
After just one day at the Eden office in Zinder, Anette and I joined forces with the rest of the team and headed up for a full day in the sun at the field station!
Although it’s green and the grass hasn’t dried yet, one still had to watch one’s step for cram-cram!
Now after a full […]
Mirriah is not only known for its market place however; in fact, it is even more known for its huge Baobab forest. These trees were sowed a very long time ago and are of great value to the families that owns them. During the rainy season, they produce the much desired Baobab leaves (that are […]
