More food in the locusts' bellies means less food for the
farmers. These are enjoying cassava (manioc) leaves.

Villagers in Fabandu pose for the camera. It was the

The thatched structure in the back left is the current
school. The new school was finished just
in time for the rainy season, thanks to the tireless efforts
of the contractor (the lady in red) and parents.
