Dear all,
> 
I join you in congratulating Pierre on his receipt of this prestigious award!  This is a great achievement for him, and testimony to the superb work he's been doing all these years with and for the community. By the way, I also saw him on TV a month or two ago (on France 24 I think) in a program about the late Thomas Sankara.  I never knew he on the frontline with Sankara!  Again, Pierre, congratulations, and best wishes!
