Read about our friend Mohamed from Niger here  He speaks Tamashek (as well as French, English, Arabic and Hausa ! ) The Tamashek alphabet is very different from our own, as you can see. It is written with no spaces between words. Why not write a secret message.



See if you can work out what this means







This is a piece of jewellery made in Mohameds village. Look at the lovely designs. When Mohamed was here at Baobab Jungle  he told me what all of the designs signify. You could write a story using the Tamashek alphabet and the symbols from the jewellery. See all of the symbols here (Scroll down the page and you will find them.)

 
 

Here are two pictures using Tamashek from our Art and craft workshops.
