Despite telling pretty much everyone I know that I was going to America for two weeks, a bunch of people in my village had no idea where I had been and just assumed I'd been napping in my hut this whole time. In any case I'm starting on a community garden project this week. Hopefully lead to people eating more vegetables, I'm sick of having nothing but rice for dinner. People seem very excited about the project, we're going to build a fence this Sunday and start digging beds shortly after that. I'll be sure to take some pictures.Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00984612489653577785noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8656722099189970049.post-390201852438961392012-12-11T00:41:00.002-08:002012-12-11T00:41:56.969-08:00Brush fires<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I finished my first major project last
week. I took plenty of pictures which I'll post when I get a more
stable internet connection, in the mean time I'll do my best to
describe it. The primary water source for about a third of my village
(myself included) is a large water tank which is filled by a
gas-powered pump from an underground source. The tank feeds into a
large horizontal pipe which has faucets on either side. The water is
used for drinking, cooking and washing. Originally, the pipe had six
faucets, unfortunately, cattle would occasionally bump into them and
break them off. As of two weeks ago we were down to one
semi-functioning tap. The handle needed to be tied down with string
to turn the water off and when it ran only a trickle came out. The
places where the taps had broken off were plugged with sticks and
pieces of plastic. I purchased four new taps at the hardware store in
Kedougou for about $16. I spoke with the village chief and arranged a
work day on which men from around the village would come to install
the new taps and build a fence to keep out the cows.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I was excited to get started until I
suddenly awoke in the middle of the night before the work day and
realized that I had never checked to make sure the taps were the
right size. I picked up a tap and walked out to the pipe with my
flashlight and discovered that although the taps fit, the broken
pieces of metal stuck inside the pipes made it impossible to attach
them. Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The next day we experimented with ways
of removing the pieces from the pipes. After a few failed attempts we
discovered that cutting the piece with a hacksaw blade and bashing it
out with an improvised hammer and chisel made from old bicycle parts
effectively opened up the pipe. I was certain that this method would
destroy the threads but the new taps screwed in without much trouble.
After a full day of work we now have four new taps (plus the broken
one which the chief insisted on keeping in spite of the fact that he
forbade anyone from using it) and a sturdy fence of wood and bamboo.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I currently have some project in the
works at the school. I'll post details as they materialize and photos
as my internet connection allows.

The people in my village, with one
exception, love to have their pictures taken. For some reason a lot of people
prefer to look serious in photos, this is unusual because they're
always smiling when they're not in front of a camera. These pictures
are in no particular order.For some reason all of the pictures are horizontal even though I flipped them in the proper position before uploading them. I try to fix this in the future, but in the mean time you'll have to deal with sideways pictures, sorry.<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
It's Ramadan now and my entire village
eats and drinks nothing between sunrise and sunset. The vibe is
noticeably different, by the mid afternoon everyone is exhausted and
just rests until sunset. I've been using this time to listen to the
Olympics on my short wave radio. As I said earlier, I wasn't planning
on fasting and stocked up on food to sustain me during the day.
Unfortunately what I thought was a 2 week food supply lasted about
three days, I spent most of my time in village eating nothing during
the day. Fasting actually isn't as difficult as I thought it would
be, still, I plan on hitting the market before I go back to my site
this evening.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
A few weeks ago I attended a wedding in
my village. Like the baptism, I didn't see anything resembling a
ceremony, I wasn't even sure who the bride and groom were. I went to
the wedding with the chief of my village. When we arrived at the
compound I began to head over to one corner where there were
musicians playing and a lively crowd, the chief stopped me and
invited me to sit with him and a group on the opposite end of the
compound. I spent the evening practicing my Pular with old men while
they argued about local politics and chewed kola nuts. When the food
bowl came I was excited, an animal is typically slaughtered at these
events and I hadn't eaten meat in weeks. When the cover was removed
from the bowl I recoiled when I saw a sheep's head, skin and hair
intact, sitting on top of the rice. I ate rice from the bowl, trying
not to look at the head, when one of the men peeled the skin off and
began distributing bits of tongue, brain and eyeball around the bowl.
At this point I said I was full.

Unfortunetly by connection is too slow for me to upload images at the moment but as soon as I have the chance I'll post images of my hut, my village, and our 4th of July party. <br />
I successfully completed the 5 week challenge, actually staying in my village for 6 weeks. Life there is pretty relaxed for the most part. I get up every morning around 7 and eat breakfast with my host family. They are all awake by them, I'm not sure when anyone in my village sleeps, no matter how late I stay up or how early I wake up everyone is already out and about. We eat cornmeal with leaf sauce, made from Baobab leaves, at least once per day, and often have it for breakfast lunch and dinner. Lately we've been getting a bit more variety in our diet and occasionally eat rice with peanut sauce or cornmeal with beans. Ramadan starts on the 20th and I don't plan on fasting, so I'll be stocking up on things to eat during the day. <br />
I attended a baptism in my village a few weeks ago, it was unlike any baptism I've ever attended. People from the surrounding villages came to our village and split into groups of women and men with the cheifs and old men sitting in a small group of their own. At some point a goat was sacrificed, I didn't witness this but I saw the goat being carried off to be cooked. I sat with under a thatched shad structure with the men drinking tea and eating from large bowls of rice which were brought to us periodically. One of which also contained some goat guts which were quickly snached up while a debated weather or not to try them. Everyone stayed in their groups eating talking and drinking tea until around sunset when they all went home. I never saw anything resembling a ceremony, I never even saw a baby, and I was there all day. I asked several people about this and was told its not unusual not to see the child during a baptism. I was unable to figure out why that is. <br />
The 4th was a blast. I'm very lucky to be located in Kedougou, I didn't have to travel or find a place to stay. It was great to see everyone from my stage again, I haven't see most of them since install, and to eat potato salad and pulled pork. Unfortunetly, I ate a little too much and was nauseous for several days after. <br />
I picked up a bag of seeds at the reigonal house today, when I get back to site I'm going to pland a live fence around my hut. People in my village are constantly maintaining their fences to keep their livestock under control and cut down the surrounding forests for posts. Live fences will not only prevent deforestation but last longer than traditional fences. If the trees used are papaya or moringa, they can be a food source as well. <br />
I'll be at site for the next three to five weeks and I'll try to update whenever I'm back at the house. On August 21 I'll be returning to Thies for in service training. I'll be there for about 10 days and I'll (hopefully) have better internet access there and I'll be sure to post frequently. <br />

The ceremony consisted of speeches from Peace Corps staff and volunteers, the Ambassador, and a representative from the Senegalese government. Most of the speeches were in French and I was pleased by how much I understood. After we took an oath 'to defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic' (not exactly what Peace Corps is all about, but whatever,) We had a reception with excellent food. I ate past the point of being full knowing that soon my diet will consist of rice and leaf sauce.<br />
Tomorrow at 6am we leave for our permanent sites, this means I have an 11 hour un-air-conditioned ride ahead of me. I get a few days in Kedogou to unwind and buy furniture for my hut before I officially move in on the 17th. After install volunteers are expected to attempt the "Five Week Challenge" which consists of not leaving one's site for the first five weeks of service. After this the average volunteer spends a night or two at the regional house a couple of times per month. I'll try to post again once I arrive in Kedogou but don't expect any posts for a while after the 17th.<br />
Also, I'm not sure if I mentioned it earlier but my camera broke and I haven;t been able to take pictures since volunteer visit. I've got a new camera coming in the mail so I'll be sure to take lots of pictures as soon as it arrives.Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00984612489653577785noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8656722099189970049.post-37827390832422689022012-05-10T02:37:00.000-07:002012-05-10T02:37:05.624-07:00Pictures!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I hadn't been to Dakar since my first day in Senegal and never had the opportunity to walk around the city before. Overall, it's a pretty modern city. We took a tour of the Peace Corps center and went to a bar called Le Viking. Popenguine was a blast, we rented a house and had a beautiful beach practically to ourselves. <div>
Tomorrow I have my final Pular test so I'm a bit nervous. I finally got a power adapter that will work with my laptop and camera so I'll be able to post pictures soon. ( in case you were wondering I've been posting from the shared computer at the center in Thies.) </div>Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00984612489653577785noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8656722099189970049.post-6828438720745111182012-04-29T14:30:00.002-07:002012-04-29T14:30:08.114-07:00Counterpart WorkshopOver the next two days I will be working with my counterparts to determine what I will be doing for the first three months at my site. One counterpart is a teacher at a nearby school and the other is what is known as a community aunt, and older woman who acts as a mentor to young girls. I briefly met with both of them this morning and they seem very nice and enthusiastic, though the language barrier will be a problem, at least for a while.<br />

I'll have this sorted out soon. In the mean time here's a <a href="http://tommyinsenegal.wordpress.com/">link</a> to another volunteer's blog with photos of the Kedogou volunteers and a video of us interacting with some of the wild life. The scene in the video isn't any kind of set-up, we made a pit stop on our way back to Thies and these curious monkeys just showed up. Really an amazing experience. Also, I'll be living in a hut exactly like the ones in these photos when I get to my site.Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00984612489653577785noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8656722099189970049.post-53074813151874564562012-04-27T10:37:00.003-07:002012-04-27T10:37:54.018-07:00Back from KedougouI've actually been back from Kedogou for about two weeks but I've spent the bulk of that time in Sangalkam and haven't had internet access. My visit to my future site was amazing. My village is about 90- minutes away from the regional capital by mountain bike and involves crossing a river by rope ferry.The village has a population of 300 and is close to the Guinean border. The scenery and the wildlife are incredible, I'll post some pictures tomorrow. I came face to face with monkeys and a warthog and woke up to a four foot snake entering my hut through the roof. It was a bit scary to say the least. This weekend I'll be meeting my counterparts, a teacher and a women's group leader, who I will be working with when I install. I'm a bit nervous about the language barrier but I've been told the teacher speaks French so we should be able to communicate reasonably well. I'll be staying in Thies for a little while so I'll update my blog as frequently as I can while I have internet. Check back tomorrow for pictures.Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00984612489653577785noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8656722099189970049.post-31173716988021312252012-04-10T11:13:00.000-07:002012-04-10T11:13:53.942-07:00I'm going to Kédougou!I found out this afternoon that I'll be serving for two years in the South-Eastern region of <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 15px;">Kédougou, known for its wildlife, waterfalls and and abundant vegetation. I'll be working in a small village of 300 people and living in a one room hut with a thatched roof. All I know about my living space so far is that it is located near, but separate from, a family compound. I won't have electricity, or plumbing. I am going to be the first volunteer ever to serve in this particular town so I have no idea what type of project I'll be doing. Tomorrow morning I will be leaving for </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 15px;">Kédougou to spend a week with a volunteer currently stationed there and visit my host village. The ride takes between 8 and 14 hours ( I asked several people and got different answers) and goes through a national park which I've herd has some impressive wildlife. I'll be sure to post some pictures as soon as I get back.</span>Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00984612489653577785noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8656722099189970049.post-70918856847778193822012-04-07T15:25:00.001-07:002012-04-07T15:25:44.111-07:00In Thies againI'm back at the Peace Corps center in Thies after two weeks with my host family in Sangalkam. I'm sorry to report that my camera ran out of battery power the same day I arrived at my host family's site so I don't have any new pictures. I'll be sure to post pictures of my host family and my new Senegalese clothes in the near future. Since I returned I tested novice-high in Pular Fuuta which means I'm right where I should be with my language. I'll be learning the location of my permanent site on Tuesday and leaving the next day to visit it for a week. I suspect I'll be located somewhere in the south near Guinea. I was very excited to learn that this region has wild baboons and avocados. I'm also excited for Easter, it will be my first day off in over a month. I'm going to bed now but I'll be sure to post again tomorrow or the next day. Take care.<br />

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">I have returned from my week in Sangalkam staying with a host family. So far I've been able to communicate in French but I study Pular every day. I also work with two volunteers to set up a garden at the local school, when we arrived on the site all we saw was sand and dead grass. It was a bit discouraging to learn that we were starting the fourth garden on the site. The local kids seem to love working in the garden so hopefully they'll maintain it after we leave, or maybe not...</span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The family I'm staying with lives on a compound with a lot of their extended family. So many people came and go that I'm still not entirely sure who lives there. When I'm around the family we drink copious amounts of tea, practice Pular and eat fish and rice out of large communal bowls while sitting on the floor. I'm not quite used to the eating situation yet, I'm given a spoon at every meal but some people use their hands. Often people break the food apart with their bare hands and throw pieces to you across the bowl. Hopefully I'll get used to it by the end of my next stay, which begins tomorrow afternoon, and will last for two weeks. I'll be sure to take more pictures and update as soon as I get back.</div>

If you know anything about this language, good for you, I only heard of it the morning I found out I would be learning it. Pular Fuuta is primarily spoken in the south of the country which has the most wildlife and natural beauty so I excited know what my future site will look like.<br />
Tomorrow I begin community based training, for many people this is the most difficult part. I'll be commuting to training at a local site while staying with a host family relatively close to Thies (pronounced "Chess," by the way.) The family will only be speaking Pulat Fuuta and I will have to keep up, this will be particularly difficult considering I have only had two language classes. I won't have internet access for a while so don't expect any updates for about a week. I'll be sure to post more pictures and tell you all about my host family and community.Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00984612489653577785noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8656722099189970049.post-49485092212974173032012-03-09T13:04:00.003-08:002012-03-09T13:04:51.722-08:00A few updatesIt's really fantastic that I'm able to access the internet so easily here, I expect updates will be less frequent once I'm in my host community so I figure I'll post a lot now. Not too much to report at the moment. Today we began learning Wolof and had an intense game of ultimate frisbee. While walking around the center I found a concrete slab with some french writing on it which was left over from when the place used to be a french army base, I'll be sure to post a picture soon. Tomorrow we get to venture into the town of Thies for the first time, I'm excited but a tad apprehensive, the safety lectures made me just a bit paranoid. I'll stick with the group and I'm sure I'll be fine. <div>
Take care everyone!</div>Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00984612489653577785noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8656722099189970049.post-11831489382970858102012-03-08T10:08:00.000-08:002012-03-08T10:08:54.750-08:00I've ArrivedI arrived in Senegal yesterday morning around 6 am GMT. I managed to get a couple hours of low quality sleep on the plane and wasn't quite ready for the full day I had ahead. The flight was smooth and customs was fairly easy but after stepping out of the airport I was immediately struck by how different Senegal is from what I'm used to. Many people dress in traditional Senegalese clothing (Expect to see a picture of me wearing some in a future post,) there are herds of goats and cattle in the middle of the city, political billboards are absolutely everywhere and most surfaces are covered in graffiti supporting or denouncing different presidential candidates. After arriving in Thies via bus, about a two or three hour trip, we got settled into the Peace corps center and attended classes covering the basics of what we will be learning over the next several months. In the evening some local musicians came by, played drums for us and tried their best to teach us some local dances. A crowd of children formed at the gate while the music was playing, the guard let them in and even the youngest ones had dance moves that put ours to shame.<br />

Local musicians and children (There were a lot of PCV's dancing here as well and I'm not sure why none of them appear in these pictures)</div>

Today all volunteers went to interviews to determine where each of us will be serving. We also received two vaccines and and began taking our malaria medication, one of which lists "vivid dreams and visual disturbances" as possible side effects. I also had a proper conversation in French during one of my interviews to day and was pleasantly surprised how well I did. I'm looking forward to finding out which Senegalese language I'll be studying on Sunday. <br />
All my best to everyone in the States,<br />
