As of today, August 13 2010,
I have officially been living in Senegal for one full year. Clarification: I still have yet to reach one year of my service, but its still a mark worth celebrating.
And how better to celebrate this landmark, than fasting...The beginning of Ramadan officially started yesterday, which means people are fasting from food and water from 5am-7:30pm. The not eating isn't bad, but in a very hot and humid country, the lack of water has proved very challenging for me and everyone. But the experience, like every single minute of my life, is worth trying for certain.
