Title	Oxen drawing plow, Burkina Faso, ca.1960-1970
Description	Two oxen draw a plow as men work in a partly-furrowed field.; The back of the postcard has no handwriting. Printed on it is "Catechiste de la region de KOUDOUGOU (Haute-Volta [Burkina Faso]) Afr. Occ. Modele et entraineur de progres social et agricole. Le Diocese de KOUDOUGOU se trouve en Afrique occidentale, au centre de la boucle du Niger, dans la jeune Republique de Haute-Volta. C'est un pays de savane, une region tres peuplee, mais desheritee, en "premeire ligne" des pays qui souffrent de la faim. Aucune industrie, aucun commerce; tous les habitants sont cultivateurs, et ne reussissent pas a vivre normalement des fruits de leur travail. Ils ignorent encore l'usage de la charrue et les techniques agricoles les plus elementaires. Le Catechiste, pendant ses annees de formation a l'Ecole Normale est initie a l'apprentissage rural, et devient ensuite l'exemple vivant d'un travail assidu et intelligent. Il faudrait pouvoir a chaque Catechiste une charrue legere (15.000 F 150 NF), une paire de boeufs 50.00 F ou 500 NF); et, pour ses tournees d'apostolat et ses visites aux malades, un velo (25.000 ou 250 NF) CCP Eveche de Koudougou (Hte-Volta) OUAGADOUGOU 45 ou Procure des Peres Blancs 24 Avenue de Launay, NANTES."
