Well, with WAIST being over, things must once again return to normal. I spent all of last week helping out our U.S buyer navigate through Senegal and develop new products. It was a very productive visit and between my leather workers, the baskets, and some other small projects, I am being kept quite busy for the time being. Other than that, some close friends of mine are all in the process of COSing (COS = Close of Service), so I’ll be saying goodbye to them over the next few weeks, which is never fun. Later this month, I’ll be going to Popenguine (where my friend Ankith works) and going on a fishing trip, which I’m really excited about. That’s about it for now, I’m exhausted from having spent 10 hours in the village.
For the first time in a year and a half (has it really been that long?!?), I am going to give advice on here. I won’t go into specifics since this website is increasingly visible to the public, but my advice to current and future PCVs is: DO NOT LET NGOs TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR FREE LABOR. That is all.
Ba ci kanaam.
