I have recently returned from Mali, where I spent a month disbursing funds for Ko-Falen’s educational projects and interviewing Malian recipients of these programs.
Because Mali is in a crisis situation at this time, in addition to the Ko-Falen Projects, I also began a food aid project called 15 Families, by selling artwork in my home in Portland, Oregon to buy sacks of rice and millet for at-risk families in my neighborhood in Bamako and in the village of Soni Tieni.
The following reports are updates that I sent back to the Ko-Falen board and to supporters of the 15 Families aid program.
