			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Before we close this blog, we want to salute the beautiful children of Ethiopia and they are ALL beautiful! In Gilgel Beles, we were constantly accompanied by dozens of smiling kids of all ages eager to shake our hands and walk with us. They love to have their pictures taken especially if they can see it afterwards. Surprisingly, when they see the picture, they always recognize their friends on the picture and rarely themselves, probably because they don&#8217;t see themselves in mirrors or in pictures very often. Even children as young as two or three seemed to roam the streets freely but in fact they were always being closely looked after by an older sister or brother and they were always very protective of one another. We have never seen so many genuinely happy children who expect so little and are ready to give so much. More often than not, the kids wear a cross around their neck, a symbol of their belonging to the Ethiopian Orthodox church. Their clothes are dirty and torn and may not fit but none of that is important to anyone here. Children are raised to be polite and to be happy with what they have. They don&#8217;t ask for anything (at least not here in Gilgel Beles). It seemed to us that children are nonetheless expectant and trusting that society will provide them with what they need to succeed. We like to think that better schools and education for all is the best way for that to happen and that we have been lucky to be able to participate in making it work.</p>
<p><em>Avant de clore ce blog, nous voulons saluer les magnifiques enfants d&#8217;Ethiopie et ils sont TOUS magnifiques! A Gilgel Beles, nous étions constamment accompagnés de douzaines d&#8217;enfants souriants de tout âge désireux de nous serrer la main et de marcher avec nous Ils adorent se faire photographier surtout s&#8217;ils peuvent voir la photo après. Bizarrement, quand ils voient la photo, ils reconnaissent toujours leurs amis sur l&#8217;image mais rarement eux-mêmes, probablement parce qu&#8217;ils ne se voient pas souvent dans un mirroir ou en photo. Même de très jeunes enfants de deux ou trois ans semblent jouer dans la rue en liberté mais en fait, ils sont toujours sous le regard attentif d&#8217;un grand frère ou d&#8217;une grande soeur et ils sont très protecteurs les uns des autres. Nous n&#8217;avons jamais vu autant d&#8217;enfants si profondément heureux, qui s&#8217;attendent à si peu, et si prêts à donner autant. Le plus souvent, les enfants portent une croix autour du cou, symbole de leur appartenance à l&#8217;église Orthodoxe Ethiopienne. Leurs habits sont sales et déchirés, et parfois ne leur vont pas mais cela n&#8217;a aucune importance ici. Les enfants sont éduqués à être polis et à être heureux de ce qu&#8217;ils ont. Ils ne demandent rien (du moins, pas ici à Gilgel Beles). Neanmoins, ils nous a semblé que les enfants faisaient confiance à la société pour leur fournir ce dont ils ont besoin pour réussir. Nous nous plaisons à penser que de meilleures écoles et une meilleure éducation pour tous est le meilleur moyen d&#8217;y arriver et nous avons eu de la chance de pouvoir y participer.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Travelling in Ethiopia, we saw many road accidents and occasionally had the opportunity to take pictures. Here is a small sample of what we saw. Sadly, according to many statistics, Ethiopia has the world&#8217;s record for road fatalities. These fatalities are often due to lack of emergency services.</p>
<p><em>Au cours de nos voyages en Ethiopie, nous avons vu beaucoup d&#8217;accidents de la route et avons pu parfois prendre des photos. Voici un petit échantillon de ce que nous avons vu. Malheureusement, d&#8217;après de nombreuses statistiques, l&#8217;Ethiopie à le triste record du monde des morts sur la route. Ces décès sont souvent dûs au manque de services d&#8217;urgence. </em></p>

The hard part is sorting through the approximately 20,000. We don&#8217;t want to bore anyone with complicated scientific names such as &#8220;blue bird with yellow eyes and black things on its wings&#8221; but here are a few snapshots of some of the wildlife we saw in Ethiopia.</p>
<p><em>Voici notre premier blog post-Ethiopie. Nous sommes maintenant de retour en France et avons encore quelques clichés que nous aimerions ajouter à ce blog. Le plus difficile est de trier les 20 000 photos! Nous ne voulons surtout pas ennuyer qui que ce soit avec des noms scientifiques compliqués comme &#8220;oiseau bleu aux yeux jaunes avec des trucs noirs sur les ailes&#8221; mais voici quelques photos d&#8217;animaux prises en Ethiopie. </em><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We had seen Fasika (Easter) in Bahir Dar and Meskel (finding of the True Cross) in Gilgel Beles. The third major religious festival is Timket (&#8220;Epiphany&#8221; though the Ethiopian Orthodox Church commemorates the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist on that day and not Christ being revealed to His people). It takes place on January 20th. At around four in the afternoon on the eve of Timket, the replicas of the Ark of the Covenant (Tabot) are taken out of the churches and paraded through the streets and EVERYONE dresses in white and joins the procession. The different churches in one city merge and everybody goes to a large open space where a few tents have been set up. In Gilgel Beles, there are three churches: St Gabriel, St Mary and St Urael. We walked with St Gabriel&#8217;s procession and St Mary&#8217;s and then St Urael&#8217;s joined us with much dancing, singing and chanting. What was amazing was that everybody in Gilgel joined in and the town was almost deserted after the passage of the procession!</p>
<p>When we got to the field with the tents, the Tabots were ceremoniously placed inside a tent and priests and congregation started a night-long vigil, with more songs, dances and chants. Although this had been a day of fasting, everybody seemed to be full of energy! Many people spent the night sleeping on the bare ground. The next morning, at sunrise, people gradually woke up and gradually the field was full again. More dancing and singing and then a procession down to the river where baptismal blessings could be renewed.</p>
<p>These two days were extraordinarily fun times. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the celebrations, including the priests who appeared to be enjoying doing their best to throw water in all directions and making sure the water got to as many people as possible.</p>

<p><em>Nous avions vu les fêtes de Fasika (Pâques) à Bahir Dar et Meskel (découverte de la vraie croix) à Gilgel Beles. La troisième grande fête religieuse est Timket ( &#8220;Epiphanie&#8221; bien que l&#8217;église Orthodoxe éthiopienne célèbre le baptême de Jésus par St Jean ce jour-ci et non la révélation du Christ à son peuple). Timket est le 20 janvier. A environ quatre heures de l&#8217;après-midi la veille de Timket, on sort les copies de l&#8217;Arche d&#8217;Alliance (Tabot) des églises et on les promène dans les rues et TOUT LE MONDE s&#8217;habille en blanc et se joint à la procession. Les différentes églises d&#8217;une ville se rejoignent et tout le monde va dans un grand espace ouvert où quelques tentes ont été montées. A Gilgel Beles, il y trois églises: St Gabriel, Ste Marie et St Urael. Nous étions dans la procession de St Gabriel et les églises de St Marie et de St Urael nous ont rejoints en dansant et en chantant. Ce qui était extraordinaire c&#8217;était que tout le monde à Gilgel participait et que la ville était presque déserte après le passage de la procession.</em></p>
<p><em>Quand nous sommes arrivés au champ où étaient les tentes, les Tabots ont été déposés cérémonieusement dans une des tentes et les prêtres et les fidèles ont commencé une nuit de veille avec davantage de chants et de danses. Bien que c&#8217;était un jour de jeûne, tout le monde semblait plein d&#8217;énergie. Beaucoup ont passé la nuit à dormir à même le sol. Le lendemain matin, au lever du soleil, les gens se sont réveillés petit à petit et le champ s&#8217;est de nouveau rempli. De nouveaux danses et chants, puis une procession pour descendre à la rivière renouveler le baptême.</em></p>
<p><em>Ces deux jours étaient pleins de joie. Tout le monde semblait prendre plaisir aux célébrations y compris les prêtres qui apparemment apprécient beaucoup faire de leur mieux pour jeter de l&#8217;eau dans toutes les directions pour s&#8217;assurer d&#8217;arroser le plus de gens possible. </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last September, when we toured the Danakil Depression, we met Lisa, one of the tour operators. Liza introduced us to her friend Chrissie over the internet. A few years ago, Chrissie, who now lives in New York, started a company called &#8220;Create for a Cause&#8221; and has been working to connect people and raise money to alleviate poverty in the world. She had visited the Danakil Depression in 2010 and, moved by the extreme poverty in a village called Ahmed Ela, went home and raised money to equip the primary school there with books and supplies. Her fundraising was more successful than expected and she was left with about a thousand dollars which she asked us to use to equip another impoverished primary school of our choosing. Her idea was to buy books and supplies locally so that the money would go into the Ethiopian economy and no funds would be wasted on shipping. We were thrilled but the task was challenging since Ejenta Primary School is about 20 km of dusty dirt track away from our school and we needed to find out what they had and what they needed. The school had no books or copybooks or pens or any other school supplies. There are about 250 students and the school only goes to the fourth grade. To make things more complicated, we had to go to Bahir Dar (6 hours by bus on a good day) to buy the books and supplies and we had to find a way to get about four hundred pounds of goods back to Gilgel Beles. We were planning on taking the bus when miraculously, we ran into Sister Theresa and Sister Vincenta at the market in Bahir Dar. They had a car, were driving back to Gilgel Beles the next morning with the bishop and invited us and our school supplies to go with them. What a life saver!!! Packing the car with everyone&#8217;s belongings and shopping, driving back with the sisters and the bishop, stopping at an orphanage for a mass and fabulous breakfast on the way made for a very memorable trip.</p>
<p>Every child in Ejenta Primary School now has an English book, a reader, a copybook, a pen, a pencil and a sharpener. Every child except the second graders (couldn&#8217;t find any for grade 2) has a math book. The school has 2 globes, a supply of extra copybooks for next September and 16 boxes of colored pencils. This was another very exciting project for us and we are convinced that the impact will be huge and long-lasting.</p>
<p>Chrissie&#8217;s new company is called &#8220;The Supply Change&#8221; and you can check out her blog <a href="http://thesupplychange.org/connect/to-our-blog">here</a> about this event.</p>
<p><em>En septembre quand nous sommes allés dans le Danakil, nous avons fait la connaissance de Liza, une des tour opératrices. Avec l&#8217;aide d&#8217;internet, Liza nous a présentés à une de ses amies, Chrissie. Il y a quelques années, Chrissie, qui habite actuellement à New York a lancé une entreprise qui s&#8217;appelle &#8220;Create For a Cause&#8221; et depuis, elle cherche à connecter les gens et rassembler de l&#8217;argent pour lutter contre la pauvreté dans le monde. Elle avait fait un voyage dans le Danakil en 2010 et, émue par l&#8217;extrême pauvreté du village d&#8217;Ahmed Ela, est rentrée chez elle avec comme projet de trouver de l&#8217;argent pour équiper l&#8217;école primaire du village en livres et en fournitures. Ses efforts ont rencontré plus de succès que ce à quoi elle s&#8217;attendait et il lui restait environ mille dollars qu&#8217;elle nous a proposés d&#8217;utiliser pour équiper une autre école primaire défavorisée de notre choix. Son idée était d&#8217;acheter livres et fournitures sur place pour que l&#8217;argent rentre dans l&#8217;économie éthiopienne et que rien ne soit gaspillé en transport. Nous étions ravis malgré les complications que ça pouvait présenter. En effet, l&#8217;école primaire Ejenta est à environ 20 kms de piste poussiéreuse de l&#8217;université et il fallait nous renseigner sur leurs besoins et leurs souhaits. L&#8217;école n&#8217;avait ni livres, ni cahiers, ni stylos etc. Il y environ 250 élèves et va du CP au CE1. Un obstacle supplémentaire était que nous devions aller à Bahir Dar (6 heures de bus avec de la chance) pour acheter livres et fournitures et il nous fallait trouver une manière de rapporter plus de 200 kgs de marchandises à Gilgel Beles. Nous avions prévu de prendre le bus quand, par miracle, nous avons rencontré Soeur Thérésa et Soeur Vincenta sur le marché de Bahir Dar. Elles avaient une voiture, retournaient à Gilgel Bele le lendemain matin avec l&#8217;évêque et ont proposé de nous emmener, nous et nos charges. Quel bonheur! Charger la voiture avec les affaires et les courses de tout le monde, faire route avec les soeurs et l&#8217;évêque, faire escale à un orphelinat le temps d&#8217;une messe et d&#8217;un excellent petit déjeuner ont rendu ce voyage particulièrement mémorable. </em></p>
<p><em>Chaque enfant de l&#8217;école primaire d&#8217;Ejenta a maintenant un livre d&#8217;anglais, un cahier, un stylo, un crayon et un taille-crayon. Chaque enfant sauf ceux du CE1 (nous n&#8217;avons pas trouvé de livres de maths pour eux) a un livre de maths. L&#8217;école a deux globes terrestres, un stock de cahiers pour la rentrée prochaine et 16 boîtes de crayons de couleur.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the projects that we are delighted to have been able to facilitate is the construction of dry drop-pit latrines for female students and staff in two of the poorest primary schools in the Benishangul Gumuz region. This project was funded by a grant from the GOAC (Guernsey Overseas Aid Commission). A total of ten schools were chosen in Ethiopia based on need. Each of these ten primary schools received 54 000 birr (about $3240) to build a four-stall toilet.</p>
<p>Toilets are not a priority in primary schools here. When they exist, they are few in number, in poor material and sanitary condition and often just for boys. Besides, most of the 24 schools we work with have no access to water. Therefore, the children often take turns filling jerrycans and bringing them to the school in the morning to at least provide hand-washing facilities. It is interesting that the first thing children do when they arrive at school in the morning is to get washed.</p>
<p>VSO and GOAC asked us to manage and supervise the construction of these toilets according to set standards including minimum pit depth (3 metres) , wall thickness and roof quality. This involved going out to the schools, taking photos, checking construction deadlines and specifications, collecting receipts and making periodic payments. By the way, the largest denomination in money here is 100 birr ($6.00) so you can imagine the big wads of money we carried around!</p>
<p>These toilets will greatly enhance school life for these children and teachers. Up until now, female students and staff went home or didn&#8217;t come to school when they needed to use toilets. Sometimes, the absence of toilets for the girls was a convenient excuse for parents to keep the girls at home doing domestic tasks. Although there is still no water at these schools, everyone is very excited and happy to have these new conveniences and we were pleased to help make it happen. Here are some pictures from the two schools. Peggy worked with the Duhanze Baguna school and Patrick worked with the K2V1 school. Neither of these schools had toilets for female students or teachers prior to this project.</p>
<p>An additional 54,000 birr will be given to these same two schools to enable them to build and/or equip a school library, thereby fulfilling the second half of the GOAC grant.</p>
<p><em>Un des projets que nous avons été très contents d&#8217;encadrer a été la construction de toilettes sèches pour les filles et les institutrices dans deux des écoles les plus pauvres de la région Benishangul Gumuz. Ce projet a été financé par un don de la GOAC (Guernsey Overseas Aid Commission). Dix écoles au total avaient été choisies dans toute l&#8217;Ethiopie comme les plus nécessiteuses. Chacune de ces écoles primaires a reçu 54 000 birr (environ 2376 €) pour construire des toilettes à quatre places.</em></p>
<p><em>Les toilettes ne sont pas une priorité dans les écoles primaires ici. Quand il y en a, elles sont peu nombreuses, en mauvaise condition matérielle et sanitaire, et souvent réservées aux garçons. De plus, la plupart des 24 écoles avec lesquelles nous travaillons n&#8217;ont pas accès à l&#8217;eau. Donc, souvent, les enfants se relaient pour remplir des jerrycans et les apporter à l&#8217;école le matin pour assurer au moins le lavage des mains. Il est intéressant de voir que la première chose que les enfants font en arrivant à l&#8217;école, c&#8217;est de se laver. </em></p>
<p><em>VSO et GOAC nous ont demandé de gérer et de superviser la construction de ces toilettes selon un cahier des charges définissant entre autres la profondeur minimum de la fosse (3 mètres), l&#8217;épaisseur des murs et la qualité de la couverture. Celà voulait dire aller dans les écoles, prendre des photos, vérifier les délais et la qualité de la construction, rassembler les factures acquittées et effectuer des versements. A ce propos, la coupure la plus grosse en Ethiopie est un billet de 100 birr (environ 4€40). Vous pouvez imaginer les grosses liasses de billets que nous promenions! </em></p>
<p><em>Ces toilettes vont nettement améliorer la vie scolaire pour ces filles et leurs institutrices. Jusqu&#8217;à présent, les élèves filles et les institutrices rentraient chez elles ou ne venaient pas du tout à l&#8217;école quand elles avaient besoin d&#8217;utiliser les toilettes. Parfois l&#8217;absence de toilettes filles était une excuse pratique pour les parents pour garder les filles à la maison pour y accomplir des tâches ménagères. Bien qu&#8217;il n&#8217;y ait toujours pas d&#8217;eau dans ces écoles, tout le monde est très content d&#8217;avoir ces nouvelles installations et nous sommes très heureux d&#8217;avoir pu participer à leur réalisation. Voici quelques photos des deux écoles. Peggy s&#8217;occupait de l&#8217;école de Duhanze Baguna et Patrick de K2V1. Ces deux écoles n&#8217;avaient pas de toilettes pour les filles ou les institutrices avant l&#8217;achévement de ce projet.</em></p>
<p><em>Cinquante-quatre mille birr de plus seront versés à ces mêmes écoles pour leur permettre de construire et/ou équiper une bibliothèque scolaire, ce qui complétera la donation de la GOAC.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Christmas day (January 8th), Gilgel Beles was in celebration mode. A long fasting period had come to an end and numerous cows and goats were slaughtered throughout the village. This is done outdoors and there are usually a number of people who invest in each animal so the meat needs to be divided up.</p>
<p><em>Le jour de Noël (le 8 janvier), Gilgel Beles était en fête. Une longue période de jeûne était terminée et de nombreuses vaches et chèvres ont été abatues un peu partout dans le village. Cela se passe dehors et il y a d&#8217;habitude plusieurs personne qui investissent dans l&#8217;opération et la viande doit être divisée en parts. </em></p>
<p><a href="http://pegandpat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc05583.jpeg"><img src="http://pegandpat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc05583.jpeg?w=640&#038;h=480" alt="" title="dsc05583" width="640" height="480" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1274" /></a></p>
<p>Now this is a strange custom. There is a traditional game that is played ONLY on Christmas day. It looks a lot like hockey. Each play makes his own stick from wood. The game is played by adults but we also found small groups of children trying their hand at it.</p>
<p><em>Ca, c&#8217;est une coutume étrange! Il y a un jeu traditionnel qui se joue SEULEMENT le jour de Noël. Le jeu ressemble beaucoup au hockey. Chaque joueur fabrique sa crosse à partir d&#8217;une branche. Le jeu se joue entre adultes mais nous avons aussi trouvé de petits groupes d&#8217;enfants qui s&#8217;y essayaient aussi.</em><br />
<a href="http://pegandpat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc05591.jpeg"><img src="http://pegandpat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc05591.jpeg?w=640&#038;h=480" alt="" title="dsc05591" width="640" height="480" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1275" /></a></p>
<p>We were invited to several coffee ceremonies on Christmas. This one was at a student&#8217;s house.<br />
<em>Nous avons été invitées à plusieurs cérémonies du café le jour de Noël. Celle-ci était chez un étudiant.</em><br />
<a href="http://pegandpat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc05603.jpeg"><img src="http://pegandpat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc05603.jpeg?w=640&#038;h=480" alt="" title="dsc05603" width="640" height="480" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1276" /></a></p>
<p>In the student&#8217;s room<br />
<em>Chez l&#8217;étudiant</em><br />
<a href="http://pegandpat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc05609.jpeg"><img src="http://pegandpat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc05609.jpeg?w=640&#038;h=480" alt="" title="dsc05609" width="640" height="480" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1277" /></a></p>
<p>We were also invited to a coffee ceremony at our co-worker, Frehiwot&#8217;s house.<br />
<em>Nous avons aussi été invités à une cérémonie du café chez notre collègue Frehiwot.</em><br />
<a href="http://pegandpat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc05611.jpeg"><img src="http://pegandpat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc05611.jpeg?w=640" alt="" title="dsc05611"   class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1278" /></a></p>
<p>In the afternoon the real game of Gena was played.<br />
<em>Dans l&#8217;après-midi, le vrai &#8220;Gena&#8221; s&#8217;est joué.</em><br />
<a href="http://pegandpat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc_1905.jpeg"><img src="http://pegandpat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc_1905.jpeg?w=640&#038;h=426" alt="" title="dsc 1905" width="640" height="426" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1279" /></a></p>
<p>Some players play barefoot<br />
<em>Certains joueurs sont pied-nus</em><br />
<a href="http://pegandpat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc_1911.jpeg"><img src="http://pegandpat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc_1911.jpeg?w=640&#038;h=426" alt="" title="dsc 1911" width="640" height="426" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1280" /></a></p>
<p>If your stick breaks, you just have to quit the game.<br />
<em>Si la crosse se casse, il faut quitter le jeu.</em><br />
<a href="http://pegandpat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc_1930.jpeg"><img src="http://pegandpat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc_1930.jpeg?w=640&#038;h=426" alt="" title="dsc 1930" width="640" height="426" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1281" /></a></p>
<p>A trophy was awarded to the winning team who then proceeded to sing and dance their way to all the cafés and bars in Gilgel Beles to get money.<br />
<em>Une coupe est remise aux vainqueurs qui vont alors en ville en chantant et en dansant pour demander de l&#8217;argent à tous les cafés et bars de Gilgel Beles.</em><br />
<a href="http://pegandpat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc_1972.jpeg"><img src="http://pegandpat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc_1972.jpeg?w=640" alt="" title="dsc 1972"   class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1282" /></a></p>
<p>Victors at one of the bars<br />
<em>Le vainqueurs à un des bars</em><br />
<a href="http://pegandpat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc_2011.jpeg"><img src="http://pegandpat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc_2011.jpeg?w=640&#038;h=426" alt="" title="dsc 2011" width="640" height="426" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1283" /></a></p>
<p>They danced around the town for hours after the game.<br />
<em>Ils ont dansé en ville pendant des heures après le jeu.</em><br />
<a href="http://pegandpat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc_2029.jpeg"><img src="http://pegandpat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc_2029.jpeg?w=640&#038;h=426" alt="" title="dsc 2029" width="640" height="426" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1284" /></a></p>
<p>Women also sang and paraded through the town to the same bars and cafés collecting money for the church.<br />
<em>Les femmes aussi chantent et traversent la ville allant aux mêmes cafés et bars pour demander de l&#8217;argent, mais pour l&#8217;église.</em><br />
<a href="http://pegandpat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc_2046.jpeg"><img src="http://pegandpat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc_2046.jpeg?w=640&#038;h=426" alt="" title="dsc 2046" width="640" height="426" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1285" /></a></p>
<p>On campus, everyone was partying.<br />
<em>Sur le campus, tout le monde faisait la fête.</em><br />
<a href="http://pegandpat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc_2064.jpeg"><img src="http://pegandpat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc_2064.jpeg?w=640&#038;h=426" alt="" title="dsc 2064" width="640" height="426" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1286" /></a></p>
<p>Getting photographed with the ferengis is another more recent tradition. Here, the college guard and students asked Peggy to pose for a photo with them.<br />
<em>Se faire photographier avec les ferengis est une autre tradition un peu plus récente. Ici, le garde et les étudiants voulaient poser avec Peggy pour une photo.</em><br />
<a href="http://pegandpat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc_2069.jpeg"><img src="http://pegandpat.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc_2069.jpeg?w=640&#038;h=426" alt="" title="dsc 2069" width="640" height="426" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1287" /></a></p>
