In case you missed it…

Global (heart) warming

 This narrative takes place in a village in northern Togo, near Dapaong (25 kilometers away), the largest city in the region, with a population of about 75,000.

This is in the Sahel, the arid to semi-arid region just below the Sahara Desert. 
Incomes are about $1 U.S. per day, or $350 per year.

The village of Nano is a cluster of buildings surrounding a marketplace, where the open-air market is conducted twice a week.

In the village, there are a couple of restaurants and bars, a tailor shop, four churches, a mosque, schools (primary through high school), some local manufacturing shops (metal and wood), a grain processor, cotton mill, and others. All of these are one-person, family-run operations, or village co-ops. Everybody generally grows their own food, and some extra for income.
