The Extreme North

Here are a few photos of the northern provinces of Cameroon. Above is a giraffe I saw on a safari. We didn't see any elephants, unfortunately, because they were all in Chad at this time of year. They used to be in Cameroon during dry season, but they kept stomping on people's fields, so they were killed and do not return here until rainy season.

Below is the Crab Sorcerer. He lives in the desert, but somehow finds this crab in the dried up river beds that he uses to tell people's fortunes.





In the middle is a school. I think it must be for small children given the size of those rocks used as chairs. Above is a typical little restaurant bar.


Below is a picture of a random lady in Rhumsiki - a part of Cameroon that looks like pterodactyls should be flying around with its strange rock features. She posed for a picture with us on the border so half of us are in Nigeria and the other half still in Cameroon.


While traveling around, I did some collaboration projects with other volunteers. Here we are talking about food security at an Environmental Education Camp. Below we were teaching an HIV+ women's group how to make jewelry beads out of newspapers.


Below are photos of Rhumsiki. It was my favorite place in the Extreme North because it was so different looking.
