Christmas is on the doorstep and in Burkina Faso the tradition is to build a crib in front of your house. No, they are not simply made of wood – they are built with love using bricks and cement.

Once dry, they are painted in bright colours. We have just received these photos and video clips from AMPO. It is always a big event for all the kids. Everyone lends a hand ... or just stands to watch. 😊
