So Fatalmoudou is one of our village sisters. She's severely mentally and physically handicapped, and a lot of people treat her as a dog. We love her, though. She's so smart and just desires to have love and attention. She also loves our supervisor, Nafi. So on our last day in the village, Nafi gave her a t-shirt with a picture of the two of them on it. Fatalmoudou immediately recognized Nafi on the shirt, but she's seen so few images of herself that she had to be told that it was her in the picture. Fatalmoudou didn't know that was the last time for us to see her, and the village says she still doesn't know we're gone for good. They said, "No one is going to tell her." They say she still guards our hut, though! I can't wait to see this little girl in heaven, though, when she has a perfect body!
