The Sweet Dreams Educational project is based in Mopti, a small town in the West African State of Mali. If you want to find Mali on the map, look directly below Algeria. It’s that enormous, largely blank, chunk of desert between Mauritania and Niger, two other enormous, largely blank, chunks of desert.

To find Mopti, follow the river Niger down from Timbuctu. You’ll find Timbuctu on the Southern edge of the Sahara desert near a large bend in the river. Follow the River downstream, you have to look hard but eventually will come to Mopti.

It's hard to know where to start with this.

Is it that they have reduced the whole notion of Irishness to a running shoe with a leprachaun on it?

Is it the weird notion of having the colours of the Republican tricolour on an ugly pair of runners?

Is it the "kiss me I'm Irish?".

Is it the design of the lining showing an overflowing beer mug?

Is it the sheer awful, "Americaness" of it all? read full story / add a comment
