 THE
RAINS
Twelve months
ago New Internationalist published ‘The Gardens’
– an account of life in the slums of Colombo, Sri Lanka – commissioned
by UNICEF and written by Peter Adamson. ‘The Rains’ is the second
such report, set this time in Yatenga Province, Upper Volta, where recent
years have seen an erosion both of the soil of the Sahel and the confidence
of the Mossi people. It tells the story of one day in the life of Assita
and her husband Harmade Ouedraogo as the rains begin to fall.
