Women's Day

March 8th was International Women’s Day. I happened to be in Awinatt Zbil to help Mike and Jackie celebrate. Mike and Jackie opened up a Girl’s Mentoring Center in Awinatt, so this was the first year the mentors got to celebrate with Peace Corps.

In true Mauritanian fashion, we had lots of zrig (milk and sugar), tea, and dates. It was one of the ways we can show our appriciation for the girlies in town and have fun!

No party is complete without a bucket of zrig!

Tea for everyone!



Snack time! Dates and cream. Yummy!



Musical interlude.



Some of the mentors. And one all henna-ed out.



The aftermath... Mike's pooped. Who needs more tea?
