“How to build in a region like {{w|Burkina Faso}}.., in a country which has a... colonial past... When I arrived home, explaining to my people that I am here to build a school together with them, and I already have the money.., everybody was... over the moon.., really happy, and then I explained... that we are going to use clay.., mud. ...[T]here was shock! ...The rejection was so big, nobody wanted to speak again with me... [I]t cost me a lot of energy and... discussions to convince them that this is the only way to... respond the best to the climate, and to our need.”
