Our 9th grade students have been working on a magazine (in English!) about their lives here in Bamako -- about their neighborhood, their school, Malian politics, everyday life, etc.
Here is a selection of the photographs our students took to document life in their neighborhood. See the associated captions for a short description of what you're looking at!

View of the school courtyard. The school director recently began constructing
a new wall -- you can see the canonical bricks drying in the sun. |

Picture of an alimentation, where they sell tea, sugar, cooking oil, and other
basic necessities. |

A family compound. You can see a sheep in the background, and a satellite
dish (presumably to receive TV broadcasts...?). |
