These are all from one of the first baby weighings I did separate from vaccinations in my own village -- i.e. I weighed kids age 9 months to 5 years. I weighed 100 kids on this particular day.
We did a "tournée" of all the villages in the CSCOM's catchment area, which basically means we had a meeting in each village with the chief and other old men. Representing the CSCOM were me, the president and secretary of the ASACO (a community org that manages the finances of the CSCOM), and an NGO worker that works with our CSCOM. In this pic you can see me and the ASACO president, Agui, in the background, while a man sets up our lunch in the foreground.
Can you spot me in this group shot?
I push my bike up a really steep hill.
This is at the meeting in my own village. I am next to the ASACO president; on the far left is the chief of my village.
Agui and I wait for the meeting to start in his village.Thanks to Abu Dramane Diarra for taking all these pictures and loading them on my jump drive!

Laura,
I loved seeing the baby weighing pictures. I'm Anna's mother and since she is doing that it was amazing to actually see a picture of how it's done. I'm glad you had a good trip to the ball games. We are proud of all you PCVs and all that you are doing over there.
Fondly, Susan Griffis
