quizzes
Let's go to some young travelers Township Creon :
-I have seen working artisans in Ouagadougou. I understood the technique of batik and one bronze. These are unique pieces that require multiple interventions. It's long, thorough. I look at these things differently now.
"They choose to buy a cell phone before the food or the net, but them, they have neither social security nor the restaurants of the heart, then it's serious ...
-In my correspondent, I saw his sister cook and her mother prepare te dolo. Cooking is between three stones, he must look beyond the wood and it is tiresome. They are really brave.
-The first night in Ouagadougou, there were cockroaches everywhere, the toilets and our bags. However, the house was paved and clean-
... On the way back to a montage of photos, I spent an afternoon with our guide video. It was great! But they do not have this equipment ...
One evening, we saw bush fires not far from the village. We were told it was forbidden. So why do they still?
- A Sabou, they throw live chickens into the jaws of crocodiles so that later we can get on their backs for photography. It is cruel and unnecessary ...
"It was well because there were no parents. We would get water from the drilling at night. In return, we did not find any on the road because it was dark and there was no lighting.
And to those of Saponé:
-A library, we saw "Germinal" video. We had a good laugh when we saw the white naked who washed in a large bowl. They had the black figure of coal.
"I got a hand to ... studies, repair of the bicycle, my wall of mud, the doctor's prescription ...
-On is frustrated: we, we can not travel. There was not money.
-We all want a conversation, but we do not know what to write.
-With the formation of soap, we learned a lot together. But that does not relate because shea butter is expensive. We should prepare ourselves, and it's very hard. That's why many women have abandoned.
-I work every night of the year. But I'm not paid regularly ...
trade associations
A logical
stays close to school in this small rural community have to move together between concessions and visit the families of correspondents. In doing so, we approached the realities of non-school, parents, siblings, neighbors ... We have seen long waits near wells and boreholes, the morning pounding grain, transporting heavy bundles for cooking, women's market, cooking on the floor, the last born ... they asked nearly all of which have raised the idea to study a large majority of the population, those who do not speak French, but Moré, the one sentence that some of their children are enrolled in high school. A cohesive team
The main facilitator trade school, now retired, has naturally turned towards an association project, accompanied by those who had stayed at Saponé or thirty supporters.
The association SAPONE33 "is created in June 2001
support of a local ephemeral Gironde
The head was the parent of a student, and we proposed an accompaniment to a work camp in France and Burkina Faso village. He had already mounted shares in the building with his association and we shared for one year the dream of a center for youth training, here and there.
Alas! Shortly thereafter, the association filed for bankruptcy and disappeared. But the line was drawn and walkers French had control of their roadmap.
Entrepreneurs villagers sought
The first plans were followed, based on knowledge of village entrepreneurs in Burkina including a young entrepreneur with a corresponding schoolgirls first stay in 1987. After 5 months of multiple consultations, a draft plan was prepared with workshops, dormitories, toilets and apatam. The water issue remained outstanding. Search
ground
At the same time, our knowledge Saponé trying to land that could accommodate future buildings. The search for a possible drilling us away from a first space called "administrative reservation" on the land register, and it finally came to the village in the area known as "foreigners" (non-native) that of land of 3000m2 said "green space" on the cadastre was retained. We owe it to the intervention of the village head with the prefect (who happened to be a woman) with whom we will sign an agreement between two municipalities, Saponé and Creon.
Search for funding and support from "sponsors" warned Our activities
créonnaises reserved a portion of their earnings to finance the project.
Records Grant were being prepared.
But it is essentially the enlightened support of the mayors of Creon who has supported the various associations.
partners who build and manage
1. A borehole, the pump and curb
Our project was to use companies Burkinabe and a local management committee.
- First Choice: OCADES
We canvass Ouagadougou in March 2002 with Burkinabe entrepreneurs. A meeting and exchange by mail will result in a failure because the estimates are not guaranteed and no drilling is negatively charged at full price, without guarantee of success.
A town hall meeting of Creon in April 2002 that shows the drilling project estimate for overall 5420 euros (not including the geophysical and drilling negative).
An exceptional grant will allow us to pursue this project and to begin drilling the first phase of construction.
All partners are mobilizing: markets, markets, bingo, exhibits.
A request is sent to the President of the General Council for financial support April 29.
unexpected assistance is provided by a group supported by a former student of Creon and provides a check for 450 euros May 6, 2002.
- Second speaker: the Ouagadougou BESER
Given the high cost of drilling operations, our partners choose to use another company working on a nearby village: the Beser, with headquarters and offices in Ouagadougou . Geophysical studies are made on the plot in July and drilling operations are carried out in August in full winter (rainy season). The company agrees not to charge the drilling ineffective; there will be 5 before finding the water 38 meters deep for flow rate of 3.5 m3/hr.
- Third speaker: the association Aquassistance of Lyonnaise des Eaux.
A subsidy is paid to our association for the installation of a pump and the construction of a curb. Everything will be completed in December.
-To manage the drilling
the occasion of the inauguration of the pump in December, a study conducted is presented by partner associations showing the number of wells constructed in this village (9) of which 5 are down fault monitoring. The need for a management committee can alert users to a financial low is announced. Pay for water is not in cultural habits, but how to maintain the pump or drilling in case of failure? The issue of local technicians able to maintain the pumps in the village is also raised.
2. The construction of the shed where says "Welcome"
Our partners choose another contractor that sensed by us in 2001. It is a local contractor who also has a workshop in Ouagadougou.
The year 2003 is dedicated to the manufacture of bricks, digging foundations, implementation of the cap, bearing walls of the frame and 6-Sheet Metal bedrooms, their bathroom and common room.
In 2004, work continues to Saponé, led by a team of workers villagers guided by the same "hack" experienced. And are performed: the ceiling of rooms, construction of external health, a separate kitchen, enclosed by a fence three portals. All for a total of 10,000 euros. A nurseryman
partner takes care of the first plantings in the courtyard of the hostel.
"Welcome" is equipped with beds, mattresses, mosquito nets, kerosene lamps, chairs, tables, for a total of 1800 euros at the written request of our partners.
equipment in the kitchen pots, pans, bowls, cups, cutlery, gas bottle and ice is made for 2600 euros according to their specifications.
3. The beginnings of management "Welcome"
The year 2004 also saw the support of the management of this center by hosting small groups of travelers, which makes some income partners. They can ensure the use of a night watchman at the Centre.
The "youth" partners began operating theater and dance, revealing and creative qualities organizational.
The test was enriched library of books and runs the test in a room of the annex, called "Blue House", reserved for French partners who personally financed.
drilling and pump were revised and changed by blowing pipes whose cost can not be assured by our partners. The management of the pump is again reviewed.
A delegation from the College of Creon is granted at Christmas 2004.

equipment in the kitchen pots, pans, bowls, cups, cutlery, gas bottle and ice is made for 2600 euros according to their specifications.
3. The beginnings of management "Welcome"
The year 2004 also saw the support of the management of this center by hosting small groups of travelers, which makes some income partners. They can ensure the use of a night watchman at the Centre.
The "youth" partners began operating theater and dance, revealing the creative and organizational skills.
The test was enriched library of books and runs the test in a room of the annex, called "Blue House", reserved for French partners who personally financed.
drilling and pump were revised and changed by blowing pipes whose cost can not be assured by our partners. The management of the pump is again reviewed. A delegation
College of Creon is granted at Christmas 2004.
4. Workshop and Training
Two years will be needed to finance and build the workshops and provide equipment necessary for training. Our partners choose to start with the formation of a dozen women in soap. This will be a success according to the trainer. The French partners will stay the opportunity to participate in this production and awareness of quality products.
In February 2006, the mayor of Creon Saponé stays with a team of high school in Gironde. Their participation Centre's activities and their findings will be crucial for the future.
With soap Saponé, trade and social solidarity appears to be germ.
But the acquisition of basic products (shea nuts and their transformation into butter) is one of the reasons for the abandonment of this production by six women. Four others were not "sitting" and continue to build homes. The question of the use of the workshop and the dispersion of the material purchased are asked to partners.
5. The third building planned
and closing is the last phase of construction: a multipurpose hall (meetings and / or child care), office manager and the local night watchman. The whole forms a beautiful building in a corner. An estimate for the closure of the Centre, portals and required the construction of central kiosk or "apatam is accepted after study. Everything is completed in 2008.
management activities of local starts.
First and pending activities but difficult to implement (or class child care or literacy), this room is rented by our partners in a family with 9 young schoolgirls in separate institutions. Issues of scheduling, hygiene, equipment and the unsupervised cancel this lease.
activities that meet a social need are coordinated to the study and the formation of a manager.
6. Library: redevelopment and management
At the same time, the library was removed and placed in a large room near the workshop. An equipment shelf is made by an artisan village. After inventory, the books are arranged according to a simple classification. French trainees participate. Volunteer high school students are running it and give satisfaction so far.
This library has nearly a thousand ouvrages.et documents. It is regularly frequented by very young, but also by students and their teachers.
animations about African writers have taken place over the last two years. They are free, quality, and followed with great interest. The operation of this activity is best defined in the project in 2001: free, voluntary, secular and open to all.
7. Testing of micro-financing
Since 2008, our association meets the demand for support of a young animator Saponé. His needs are great material. Our association is negotiating with him the possibility of interest free credit. An account reserved for future appropriations is open to Saponé and our community partners become stakeholders on hand to advise the borrower and educate prospective applicants.
In 2009, we hear the request of a young seamstress from the village formed in Ouagadougou, eager to move into a room near the family compound and conscious of the need for teamwork to succeed. The first repayments of the facilitator should allow the loan to the seamstress.
But this is not the case. We are led partners to meet these young people, to listen to their project, their problems and then to reformulate the concept of repayable loans. These exchanges in 2010 lead to a redefinition made common loans and contracts.
We realize that every project must be worked in partnership to see the day before and he must be patient, firm and determined to follow the evolution of the project defined in common.
8. Valuing rural groups is that of
Koagma which has been tracked for over ten years. Both instructors are volunteers. They have two hectares of land near the dam, where they planned to learn different farming practices profitable. The group is composed of four women and eight men. After haggling, needs two years have been defined (some new seeds and chemical fertilizers). Their goal is to better feed themselves and sell a portion of production in order to meet other expenses (health, school ...).
9. Towards a concerted management
This African village became full-function joint in 2007: a mayor and a team in new buildings at the entrance to Saponé-Karkuidighin; events citizens like these hundred civil marriages grouped in January 2010 and a central market in rebuilding after fires, Roofing Tin replacing woven mats, and the Center Saponé 33 caught between effective management and private associative management hesitant because recent and no real experience.
Everyone is aware of the training needs of a population that is not only rural and agricultural. The paved road that puts Saponé less than thirty minutes from the capital Ouagadougou, the arrival of electricity, the beginnings of decentralization, are all factors, to mention only those which transform men, creating new needs and showing the urgency of training, particularly in youth and women. Only
discussion between willing partners can feed a sustainable and effective accompaniment
To go further in partnership
How members of different societies as historically, culturally, economically they can share, understand and build a joint project?
1. It emerged during the past twenty-five years of trade flows that were as rewarding for young people and adults of both partner communities : It is far from a simple system using one-way and how we could quote commitments of adult life choices young people have been fed by these exchanges.
2. There remains the complex question of partnership and agency management and our actions because the experience of our companies is very remote. A
Saponé, ethnicity, position in the lineage, women's place in society, seniority in the town, the employability of young people, are all elements that should be explored further.
We ask, however, the assumption a recomposition of the traditional powers and learning to exercise responsibility associative, as in France, is useful to local democracy.
In our project, the creation of a multipurpose cultural center jointly managed in a spirit of secularism is to encourage several levels: No
that of the economy with social assistance to youth and women through refundable credits;
n that of dissemination of knowledge in the framework of the Francophonie, with the creation of an interactive library and entertainment by local youth volunteers;
No one from the Management Training Centre itself ;
n and finally the project support to rural areas in its new practices, including the Koagma.
3. This ambition is shared with our partners is trying to fit into a system of action and cultural development of the three-game record for regulation, promotion and social recognition. This ambition is participating in a tree that modifies the associative local socio-political landscape and its ability to innovate.
