A Few Borrowed Pics

Ok, so I got some pics from friends from some time earlier, and, as you can see, some need explaining...
This first picture is me working on stopping the bleeding of a dog we took to the vet after its tail was broken to get it cut off. It is the dog on one of the married couples in our PC class, and its name is chance. As this pic was taken, I was waiting on some supplies to stop the blood.
It was originally bandaged by the vet, but after the dog was playing a bit, the tail started to bleed out. It was pretty disgusting, but I did what I could to fix it.
As you can see, the dog is fine. Now he is so much more grown, and the tail ended up healing nicely. His name, by the way is "Chance" meaning luck in French... fitting.
This is a picture from a World Malaria day celebration that is somewhat recent, organized by the girl with the aviators on. It was a lot of fun, and it was nice to see a volunteer that has been in country for over a year now organize and carry out a large scale project like this one.
This guy is a musician from her villiage that played this really great instrument called a Kora. he plucks the strings for notes, but also, the instrument rattles from the metal top.






And, for all of you wondering, this is my cat "Pocket" She is adorable (a little less now that she is older) but really annoying. My goal is to get a dog and have it eat her.
