  2. Senossa is a village of 4,000 people in Mali, West Africa. It is about 10 kilometers from Djenne, a town famous for its enormous mud mosque. The majority of people in Senossa are in the Fulani ethnic group, which is traditionally composed of cow and sheep herders. As a Peace Corps Volunteer, I work in the village’s health clinic and school. I helped the elementary school students prepare this presentation. The students hope you enjoy learning about their village. Bissimilla! Ga woni Senossa! (Welcome! This is Senossa!) --Kate Slavens, Peace Corps Volunteer
