Our good volunteer Kaniba Baguiya has stayed in touch with one of the excisers she convinced to stop in 2004, Maimouna Kanté. Recently Maimouna called her because she has heard about some women in the village of Fombabougou who were trying to arrange for their daughters to be cut. So they set up a meeting in the village where one of the women explained that she had called their exciser but heard that she had stopped and why (Kaniba had visited their village last August.) That got her wondering and then, when she heard Kaniba, that sealed the deal. None of those girls were cut. We are getting somewhere! See StopExcision.net.
