Where I check email in Porto Novo and can buy soymilk! This place is worth reading up on - has an interesting story and is a good example of a kind of self-sustaining learning community. They attract students from all over West Africa for agriculture studies and they are pioneers in waste management and resourcefulness and small advances such as how to raise plump chickens – in cages with feed! So not the typical Beninese chicken with a hard life!

I’m going to do a good bit of work with this in Avrankou, or a LOT of it if we get some sort of funding; it’s a good idea since the info has yet to reach the village here--- this will be a great area to approach soon regardless if I get funding or not.
