Memories: Layasando

OK, So here are some of the last pics I took in Guinea. Most of these are during the end of Ramadan celebration. Enjoy!

This is everyone sitting outside for the prayer













Here is the Chief of the District of Layasando. He is such a character. Nice hat too!
This is the Imam and his crew leading the prayer
During the Ramadan Celebration you dress to the nines,, these are some of my counterparts kids all dressed up in their Obama jerseys. Oh God! Don't eat that plastic bag!!!
There we go. These are some of my favorite kids in the villiage too
Oh, there's another one of their brothers. Really I could keep going, my counterpart in Guinea has 14 children!

Here is My Friend in the villiage, Bahfodi and the Sierra Leonean Abduliah. Both dressed up for the celebration.
Here are my adorable mother and father in Layasando. Normally they are all smiles, but when the camara is rolling this is all I get.
Some more of my Family... nice clothes, huh?
Some haircutting on the day of the celebration.
oooh, he does not look so happy
Awww, the last picture of my cat before I left. Well, I can't get her back, so she is just hanging out in what used to be my hut and getting fed occasionally by Bahfodi. Don't worry though, I told them they can eat her if i don't get back.
One last look at my hut....
