Baba’s Office
I felt really inspired after visiting Baba’s office. Baba works at the DREN (regional representative for the Ministry of Education) and teaches art to elementary school students. While his artworks may not be amazing according to our standards, it’s quite impressive given what he has to work with. There are barely any art supplies; all you really have are the standard paper, glue, paint, scissors, markers, and colored pencils. This is probably due to the fact that creativity doesn’t really exist here, because art is seen as a profession for a certain group of people.

Daar Ktaab
I was really excited to visit the Daar Ktaab. I love libraries so why wouldn’t I like this one? LOL. I was impressed by the number of French books they had. I asked one of the workers if we (non-Mauritanians) were able to check out the books but he didn’t get back to me. So I guess I just have to go back. =) Anyways, we’re going to give them some of the books from Books for Africa.
