TO WEST AFRICA WITH LOVE Published July 9, 2013 By Dawn Moore Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas Via e-mail -- I work in the Nonresident Programs Division of the Defense Language Institute English Language Center. In late 2012, I was TDY to Niamey, Niger, and was given a tour of the main air force base there. At the conclusion of the visit, one of the Nigerien officers removed a calendar from the wall and presented it to me as a gift. It was their official air force calendar, which shows their planes and some base facilities. Recently, a couple of Nigerien Air Force members arrived at DLI to study English. When they return homeland in a few weeks, I am going to present some 2013 Torch Calendars to them. I am sure they will proudly display them around their base.
