Hi! I've never heard of Burkina Faso and would love to know more about it, please. 
 Great, Burkina Faso used to be called Upper Volta but it was changed in 1984. It is located in West Africa and was once ruled by France but became independent in 1960 
 Wow! That's not even 100 years ago! What do you know about their geography and climate? 
 There is a largest number of elephants than other countries in West Africa and several reserves. The fauna and flora are protected in four national parks. 
 I love elephants! It's good to know they protect their land like that. Do you know anything else about their geography? 
 The Sahel a dry tropical savanna extends beyond the borders of Burkina Faso from the Atlantic Ocean to the Horn of Africa. and borders the Sahara to the north and the fertile region of the Sudan to the south 
 That sounds like a pretty big expanse! Do you know if the climate tends to be warm there? 
 There are 3 climate zones that can be defined the Sahel, the Sudan-Sahel and the Sudan-Guinea. The are 2 distinct seasons which are the rainy season and the dry season 
 Interesting. Does it ever get cold there? 
 There is typically less than 60 cm of rainfall per year and the lowest are between 4 - 117 fahrenheit 
 Okay. What can you tell me about the etymology of the region? 
 I am sorry I do not have that information at this moment but I can tell you that the people from Burkina Faso are called Burkinabe and it is formally called the Republic of Volta (previously stated above) 
 I suppose do you know anything more about the geography? 
 I can tell you know in regards to etymology that the French colony of Upper Volta was named for its location on the upper courses of the Volta River (black, red and white Volta). 
 That's so cool! Thanks so much for all your help! 
 It was a pleasure
Burkina Faso
