I am in Conakry now, doing all my Close-of-Service stuff, and I came across this photo from Save the Children's "Race for Survival" event back in October.
The First Lady of Guinea (in the light green shawl) invited us to stop by and greet her while she was visiting Kankan, so of course we went. Outside in the courtyard of the house there were a bunch of very intimidating-looking security guards with big guns, and a bunch of little kids who gawked at me entertainingly, and inside everything was very calm and quiet and fancy. Everyone was really nice and the First Lady, who has her own philanthropic foundation, seemed legitimately interested in Save the Children's work in Guinea and Mali.
It was a neat morning - not every day one gets to meet a First Lady.
