Healthy Tomorrow director Susan McLucas giving Sini Sanuman volunteer Kaniba Baguya a Stop Excision tape to give to one of her ex-excisers or meeting organizers. "It was so fun to watch the tape work sometimes," says Susan McLucas. "One day I went with Samou, a friend that Sini Sanuman volunteer Elie Dembele brought in, who also talked to his brother in Tomia (near Sikasso) to a club meeting of women near him who got together every week and pooled money and then drew straws for the pot. The leader of the group had said that they would be glad to hear about the Pledge and maybe help out. Two of the women in the group were excisers. After much talking in Bambara, everybody said they would sign, including the excisers. We gave them a round of applause and I gave them each a copy of the tape, Stop Excision and we put another copy on the tape player and started dancing to it. The excisers seemed to be the ones who liked it best. I really don't understand why. Samou and I went to see them, by themselves, a week or so later. They had continued to like the idea and hadn't done any excising. We gave them each copies of our certificate of honor and heard about reactions they had been getting. They said some people were upset but that more were supportive."
