  Thanks for posting this, Sandi.
  
  There was another story about the Tuareg in Mali this morning...

  And, this video, Trees Return to Arid Niger, shows some hope in that country...

      Yup, we performed at the opening gala! It was wonderful! They had a Tuareg band, Tidawt, playing there as well. And Elhaji and his mother-in-law were there giving jewelry making demos. Check out my photos on Flickr: www.flickr.com/photos/san...0301956692/
