Quick Update

Hey all,

So this weekend I'm in Dakar for Easter, which is why I can post stuff on my blog again.  Basically my internship and family life in the village have continued to go really well.  I really love living in Sessene, because I really feel like the village adopted me.  My family threw me a naming party and a whole bunch of people came (some of whose names I don't remember...but I'm slowly learning more)  My three sisters all have little babies less than six months old, which is a lot of fun.  It means a lot of work for them, so I try to help as much as I can, which usually means as much as they will let me.  

I'm working with a NGO that does consulting and promotion of organic ag.  So far I've mostly been visiting fields and working some in my organization's training example field.  I also went to a national organic ag market/festival thing in Theis.  

Thinking of everyone at home, even if you don't hear from me!

Love,

Mel
