The hippie in all of us wishes to plant trees. And this weekend, that wish was fulfilled.
2 back to back reforestation programs took place in Sokone and Toubacouta. The work was dirty, but lots of fun. It involved wading barefoot through swamps filled with crabs, including cool one-armed purple fiddlers. Diseases? Yes, but not for me. Others were unfortunate to get some nasty foot infections. Meanwhile I caught an unrelated case of fevers and diarrhea...
But the work included beautiful scenery, fun truck and boat rides, and great company, both Senegalese and other PCVs. It was a great and productive weekend.
Special thanks to Cail, Elida, and Oceanium for their organizational and hospitality efforts. Pictures to come soon...
