They have a matching donation challenge going on now as well so the amount will be doubled. Let me set the scene here: The assignment is Global Climate Change for National Geographic Magazine. We learned that vast areas of the sub-Sahara were changing due to decades of drought. I visited a clan of Tuareg living about 80 kilometers outside of Timbuktu, Mali. They are nomadic peoples, living for centuries around a huge lake system that provided water for themselves and their animals. The lake system had dried up. I spent five days with this family, traveling out to their camp in a 4-wheel drive vehicle with a young interpreter from Timbuktu named Mohammad and a grizzled Tuareg tribesman also named Mohammad. I wasn’t really surprised that the head of the clan we visited was also named Mohammad. He was a teacher and spoke his tribal language Tamasheq, as well as fluent Arabic and French. Everyone approved of our plan and visit. We arrived with a live goat, a case of bottled water and case of canned chicken (just in case). The goat meat was really sandy! One day when the men went off on a hunting expedition nearby I stayed with the women back at camp. It was a sultry afternoon and as the family took a nap in their tent, I did too. After playing with the baby and combing the youngest girl’s hair, mother Waled curled up for a nap. Everyone napped a bit. I woke up and I thought the tableau was so beautiful. I still have the two beaded bracelets that the twelve year-old girl pushed onto my arm as a gift. The print sale is a 6x9 image on 8x10 paper, signed.
