On the Up-swing
The Man at the end of the line is Mike Simsik, Country Director of Peace Corps Mali, he stopped in Gossi on his way up to Gao for Business. Bess and I entertained him with a special lunch and when we went to Mayors office to greet the chiefs, the Trash Collection crew decided to honor Peace Corps by dressing up in uniform and Thanking him. No one had asked them to do this, they surprised us all and really made us feel like they appreciated our presence in Gossi. 
This is the Result of Bess' Trash Collection Project. These workers drive around Gossi twice a week and collect trash to be dumped outside the town. Thanks everyone who helped Bess fund this project, you gave Gossi the tools and they enjoy doing the work!!!
