The FAVL team in Ouaga (Michael, Donkoui, Krystle) spent the morning prioritizing our agenda, and then rearranging the office.  Nothing like a little furniture moving to make people feel better about the lives. Well, it works for me.  I went by the U.S. Embassy in the afternoon, and saw the acting PAO LaSean Brown, and good news!  We can do a book launch for the RWA books and my edited volume with Alain Sissao and Felix Compaore on reading, at the Embassy Library.  So check your calendar if you are in Ouagadougou on 16 May…. let me know!  Should be a nice way to get FAVL partners together, and celebrate some wonderful student books, and decent research, if I say so myself.

In the late afternoon played doubles at the Rec Center tennis courts. My partner was Roc, a doctor at Clinique LifeLong in Six Saints… we won!
