Site info

I thought I would update you all on info we learned about our site. Again, it is a small town near Kpasa in the northern Volta region. We will have a 4 room house with electricity and an external bathing room and latrine. The region is big on agriculture; they grow a lot of yam. They have an informal yam festival in the fall, during harvest season. They also raise cattle, sheep, and other animals. To me it sounds like an equatorial version of Wisconsin. I'll let you know if this turns out to be true. People migrated there from north further and from bordering Togo, so the language is different. It is a dialect of konkomba called likpankpang. So there are three volunteers total learning this dialect; tricia, myself, and one other. So this makes for a small language group :)

That's all for now, my internet time is up...
