Meet the Kologos. Here is a picture of my go-to boutique in village. Fidel (the man on the far right) started a little shop many years ago and it has grown to be a boutique with (basically) everything I could ever need in village. He sells cold water and bleach and Rambo (think Raid) and mango juice and he even used to sell toilet paper (sadly, I can't find it anymore in village). I hang out here a lot and chat with Fidel and his wife Balkissa (the woman in the yellow). He stopped going to school in the later elementary years but she stayed through middle school and even passed the big exam (BEPC) to continue in school. Balkissa is very smart and even speaks to me in English sometimes! They have 1 son (the little boy in blue) who hates sharing with me but is absolutely adorable. Don't know if/how the other man in the picture is related to them but he was around when I took the picture. This summer I will probably be hanging out here a lot trying to answer some of Fidel's many questions about America. OH and they have literally the only public trash can I've seen in Nedogo so obviously I appreciate that : )
