**Mali, sitting at the dry heart of northwest Africa, is a place of legend**. For centuries it has captured imaginations around the world, thanks to the ancient city of Timbuktu, a place which came to define mystery and remoteness. Yet for all its fame, Mali itself remains one of the world’s least understood destinations. Though it has faced a complex history and many political challenges, Mali rewards those who seek it out with unforgettable sights: the world’s largest adobe mosque, mud-brick villages that rise organically from the earth, and the life-giving waters of the Niger River that wind through desert and savannah alike. For centuries, Mali was a crossroads of wealth and ideas, the **center of some of Africa’s most powerful empires**. The great trans-Saharan trade routes passed through its territory, carrying salt, gold and knowledge from West Africa to North Africa, and on to the wider world. Cities like Timbuktu, Djenné, and Gao were renowned for their scholarship and riches. Today, visitors find a country where history, tradition and creativity are woven into the daily lives of its diverse communities – from the Tuareg of the Sahara, the Bozo fishermen along the river, and the Fulani herders of the plains, to the Bambara (also known as Bamana), Mali’s largest ethnic group. **The Bambara are central to Mali’s cultural identity**. Their masked dances, bursting with color and movement, are highlights of local festivals, combining artistry, spirituality and storytelling in unforgettable ways. Their traditions of woodcarving, music and agriculture have spread across the country, and their craft of *bogolan*, or mud cloth, has inspired designers and artists far beyond the country’s borders. Our journey begins in the capital of Bamako, with its chaotic traffic, rhythmic street drummers and busy markets and riverside ports. Though thoroughly modern, Bamako has not lost touch with its roots. Artisan traditions are alive and well in its neighbourhoods, from instrument making to mask carving and textile production. From Bamako, we’ll head north into the Ségou region, where the **Niger flows wide and fertile**. Just beyond the modern trade hub of Ségou, known for its pottery and textile workshops, lies Ségou-Koro, the ancestral capital of the Bambara kingdom. Founded in the 17th century, Ségou-Koro was an important center of power and culture. Today, wandering the streets of this quiet village, passing mudbrick houses, ancient tombs and sacred sites, time seems to stand still. Further east, the town of San is a close-knit community featuring a striking mud-brick mosque, built in the distinctive Sudano-Sahelian style, and lively weekly markets that attract traders, farmers and artisans from surrounding villages. Here, the traditions of the Bambara are everywhere – in the finely carved masks, the many artisans crafting mud cloth, the dances that thrill the crowds at cultural events. With its rich traditions and fascinating history, Mali offers but an **extraordinary adventure into the heart of West Africa**, revealing the remnants of a Sub-Saharan past and a present steeped in creativity. **Let’s go!** **Day 1: Arrival in Bamako** Upon arrival, meet the team, short rest and drive to the Niger River to meet the sand fishermen and observe their traditional work. Enjoy a beautiful sunset before continuing to your hotel. Overnight in Bamako. **Day 2: Bamako – Ségou** After breakfast, departure for Ségou. On the way, stop at Ségou Koro, a historic Bambara village. Visit its remarkable mud architecture, including traditional mosques, the king’s tomb, the village chief’s residence, and the palace with seven vestibules in Sudanese style. Continue to Ségou for lunch. After check-in at a hotel with a view of the Niger River, visit a Bambara village known for gourd farming and artistic decoration using fire techniques. In the evening, enjoy a boat ride on the Niger River at sunset. Overnight in Ségou. **Day 3: Ségou Exploration** After breakfast, visit the Domo mud workshop and learn traditional mud construction techniques. Continue to the women’s craft center to discover cotton weaving. Visit colonial buildings, a traditional cabaret to observe how local millet beer is made, and the Ségou Cathedral. Overnight in Ségou. **Day 4: Ségou – Koulikoro** After breakfast, drive to Koulikoro. Arrival around lunchtime and lunch on site. In the afternoon, visit the sacred “Camels Rock,” a historic site used for sacrifices, as well as the port and the rock mosque. Overnight in Koulikoro. **Day 5: Koulikoro – Sibi – Bamako** After breakfast, drive to Sibi. Arrival around lunchtime followed by lunch. Visit a Manding village of local farmers and explore impressive natural rock formations along the way. Discover the famous natural arch. Return to Bamako in the evening for overnight. **Day 6: Bamako City Tour** Full-day city tour of Bamako, including visits to the Grand Market, Point G hill for a panoramic view of the capital, the fetish market, the craft market, the recycling market, the Cathedral, the Independence Monument, and the Peace Monument. **Day 7: Departure** Last souvenir shopping and transfer to airport.

حكاية كافيه | Hikaya Café الجلسة الأولى: من هو مثلك الأعلى؟ 📅 التاريخ: السبت 4 يوليو 2026 🕕 الوقت: الساعة السادسة مساءً 📍 المكان: مكتبة محمد بن راشد – دبي في زمنٍ امتلأت فيه شاشاتنا بالأبطال الخارقين وشخصيات الخيال، نتوقف قليلًا لنسأل: من هو البطل الحقيقي الذي يسكن ذاكرتك؟ في جلستنا الأولى، نفتح الباب للحديث عن شخصيات من التاريخ والأدب والواقع؛ شخصيات آمنّا بأثرها، أو ألهمتنا قصصها، أو نرى أن العالم يستحق أن يعرفها أكثر. وسنستمع أيضًا إلى اختياراتكم أنتم... إلى الشخصية التي تحملونها معكم في ذاكرتكم، أو في طريقة تفكيركم، أو ربما في أسلوب حياتكم. ولا يشترط أن تكون الشخصية تاريخية أو مشهورة؛ يكفي أنها تركت أثرًا فيك. كما ستكون هذه الجلسة فرصة للتعارف، والاستماع إلى آرائكم حول الشكل الذي تتمنون أن يكون عليه هذا النادي الثقافي: • هل نناقش موضوعًا مختلفًا في كل لقاء؟ • أم نخصص الجلسات لمناقشة كتاب؟ • أم لديكم أفكار واقتراحات أخرى؟ نريد أن نبني هذا المكان معًا، ليكون مساحة للحوار، والقراءة، وتبادل الأفكار، وصناعة صداقات ثقافية جميلة. ادعوا أصدقاءكم... فكل من يحب الحكايات، ويؤمن بأن وراء كل اسمٍ عظيم قصةً تستحق أن تُروى، هو موضع ترحيب. ومن هنا تبدأ الحكاية... ونكملها معًا، بالطريقة التي نرسمها جميعًا. "لكل حكايةٍ مستمع، ولكل فكرةٍ مساحة." أهلًا وسهلًا بالجميع. Hikaya Café First Gathering: Who Is Your Role Model? Date: Saturday, July 4, 2026 Time: 6:00 PM Venue: Mohammed Bin Rashid Library, Dubai In a world filled with superheroes and fictional icons, let's pause for a moment and ask: Who is the real hero who has inspired you? Our first gathering invites you to share stories about remarkable people from history, literature, or everyday life—individuals whose lives have inspired you, challenged your thinking, or simply deserve to be better known. We would also love to hear about your role model. Your choice doesn't have to be famous or historical. It could be anyone who has left a meaningful impact on your life. This first meeting is also an opportunity for us to get to know one another and shape the future of Hikaya Café together. Would you like our gatherings to focus on: • a different discussion topic each time? • a book discussion? • or another format altogether? Your ideas matter, and we would love to build this community together. Invite your friends—everyone who enjoys meaningful conversations and believes that behind every inspiring name lies a story worth telling. This is where our story begins, and together we'll decide where it goes next. “Every story deserves a listener, and every idea deserves a place.” Everyone is warmly welcome.

Some trained COUNT volunteers work together once a month at RMH (http://www.rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer.php) as Housewarmers (usually on the 1st Sunday from 1 – 5 PM). Some schedule other shifts at their convenience. You may try this out with less fuss by following a "Fast track" or go through the normal process. Fast track • Arrange a time to shadow a COUNT volunteer. Call Dave Nohle at 614-268-9558 (cell). • Show up and try it out. • Complete application, etc. later. Normal process • Complete an online application (http://rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer/). • Attend orientation in advance. • At orientation you will complete forms agreeing to keep family/patient info private and allowing a background check and tour the facility. • Complete one training shift.

The Ronald McDonald House (RMH) provides housing and meals for families with sick children. The Columbus RMH is the largest in the world with 137 rooms. COUNT has been volunteering there since May 2014. Housewarmers work with RMH guests to provide a home-like environment - greet, assist with family needs, answer phones, give tours, assist with checkin/checkout, prepare guest rooms after checkout, clean facility, laundry, restock supplies and staff the front desk. RMH Housewarmers volunteer at least one four-hour shift a month. All Housewarmers must complete an application and agree to a background check before they can be full fledged volunteers.

You can sleep in on the Sesquicentennial (observed), we’re shifting to the following Friday. But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to. Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.
