The language barrier often made the mural process in Bamako very difficult. From understanding the guys at the paint store to our hosts and getting directions to settling a bill – things could be difficult and sometimes that wore on us.
One way to escape that was interacting with children.
Their curiosity and interest in the mural, my camera and us three toubaboos always transcended the barriers of language. Here Eduardo talks about those playful interactions.

Throughout the world HIV is stigmatized. One of the roles GAIA VF plays in Bamako, Mali is to help educate to remove the stigma and to help HIV positive people and their families deal with the social aspects of the disease.
In this video, Annie talks about how GAIA creates a medical home for these people at the clinic in Sikoro. She also talks about how the mural painted by Eduardo and Teresa at the clinic will be a PR piece for the work done by GAIA, its peer educators and the clinic.
