Salut ! i am here... long flight and then a night ride to Kaolack and on to Touba Couta. Here we are in a democracy camp for about 50 girls aged 13 to 17. I am learning from my American friends about their experiences as Muslims, or as converted Muslims in the US and beginning to know the young American volunteers. I have begun to know some of the Senegalese girls... Mostly all in French. Yesterday and today the girls are reflecting on and doing activities involving the environment: we have seen parts of Planet Earth in an large covered patio; we have joined in discussion about recycling and painted and played tag and tonight we will watch Avatar. :-) So good. I am starting again to remember some of the Wolof I learned 5 years ago.
The camp ends on the 15th. Then I will probably do work with the bookmobile.
More later.. I am using someone's computer and she needs the adapter for her cell phone.
