Senegal

Haven't been able to get on the internet much, security is a big issue so we can't caryy computers around much, same with cameras. I hope to get some pictures when we are doing our projects. The project I am a part of is Urban Agriculture, we are working on a container garden at a hospital, and trying to set one up at an orphanage. We are working in conjunction with SYTO, a group of Senegalese university students. The garden at the hospital is run by a US Peace Corps volunteer who we are also working with. I am definetly excited to get to the actual site and start working! The sail over was alright, but we had headwinds (so we couldn't use sails, and had to motor) most of the time, which usually happens like 1% in the trade wind area. Christmas was fun, we did a secret Santa, I knit a toque and I got a little anchor charm made of copper wire for my necklace as well as a canvas bag for my knitting stuff. Not much time until I'm home, but that also means saying goodbye to first semester students, which is a little sad.
