Cole had the opportunity to go to Mali, Africa through the geology department at UVU. There were 3 professors and 3 students that traveled to Africa to help the people in the villages with their water.
Cole's job was to assemble the equipment to get satellite transmission near each well.
The satellite receiver had to be higher than the surroundings so he did a lot climbing.
While in Africa he stayed at the University in Bamako and in the villages in Ouelessebougou.
The media was there filming what the UVU team was doing to help the people. They also met with high government officials while staying at the University.
Their Air France flight got cancelled so they ended up with a two day layover in Paris. Poor Cole.....
He missed Thanksgiving by 3 days so we had a mini Thanksgiving when he got home on Sunday. It's nice to have him back home safe.

Sounds like a great trip for Cole. Who would have thought he would get to go to these places for school.
