more about that lady!!!

  Hey everybody! We just got in and were really bored so we decided to tell you more about that lady that we mentioned in our last post!! Also we wanted to raise a lot of awareness to a big problem in Mauritania. its this little (more like huge) thing called desertification. desertification is when the desert starts to spread and takes away precious farmland.Which is really bad for the Mauritanians because they are big farmers and their economy is based on agriculture. So tomorrow me, Megan ,and Emily are going to a meeting where some nice people are going to teach us new farming techniques to stop or slow down desertification. Then were going to some villages to teach the villagers  what we learned. hopefully we'll really be helping them out!! Alright well we'll check back in with y'all in a little bit but right now were going to take a nap.We just got back from camel riding in the Sahara (which p.s. covers most of northern Mauritania) and were exhausted!!so ya we'll talk to y'all in a bit!! byyyee!! p.s. that picture is the lady we met and the one of the camels are the camels we rode!! aren't they just sooo adorable!!!(:
