Future volunteers may want to take notes

So as I said I’m back in the city of Thies for training. I was sort of dreading the return to my host family. Not because they aren’t great people, they are, but we (all the volunteers) wished we could just stay at the training center and take a three-week vacation. The return went really well though, due in large part to mom’s efforts.

During my first two months in country I took a bunch of photos of the family, including some posed group portraits (I hate taking pictures). I sent mom digital copies with detailed instructions, and she sent back copies of the photos in various sizes. Mom, thank you! The photos we a huge hit, including the semi-provocative ones the 18-year-old insisted on posing for. In fact, Ndeye (the mom) even kept a few of those to send to relatives. Go figure.

I’ll write more later, someone wants to borrow my computer.
