I just completed a nutrition project with five mothers in a neighboring village. My five mothers......and the next day, with kids in tow. We met every morning for a week, made porridge to help wean their kids, and talked about a health topic every day. The woman in the green tank top was my lead mother, helping me get everyone organized and set up at her house every morning.
This is Yaya, the dugutigi's spokesperson. The dugutigi, or literally village keeper, is the oldest person in the village who you go to for all important events or decisions. Yaya sells beans, peanuts, and millet from his store, behind him, and is a generally large influence, being quite old.
