We still gather monthly, calling ourselves ‘The Village’. For the past 10 plus years we have shared our time, talent and resources to give back to the Dagara people. The first step was to raise funds to dig wells to provide clean water to villagers. And now we are committed to providing education to children of villages in Burkina Faso.
