In the Podor region, northern Senegal, at the edge of the Sahara Desert, live a proud and progressive group of nomadic herders and farmers who have organized comprehensive schooling for their children through the aid of US NGO Counterpart International. A stunning book with photographs and narrative by the children (ages 7-17), magnificent photos by Harvey Lloyd, and text on the programs, region and people. An important look at an unknown side of Africa.
