A Day in the Life of Timbuktu Academy

Our days are often very full, very busy as we carry out our work. From time to time it is rewarding to sit back and reflect on the beauty of watoto (children) in all the many ways they come. These images were mostly taken in one day, February 5, 2009. You will see them taking tests, learning their letters, standing in line, completing assignments and working on the computer. Not all the photos are pretty, polished and posed; we didn't want that. We wanted to capture a winter working day. Alot was missed, as I only walked around 1 time in the morning. Thus you wont see alot of projects taking place. This is us...in all of our working beauty!

A note on the music: the song is by a South African artist named Thandiswa (Album - Zabalaza, 2007).
