February 19th was literally pretty fun. We are a couple days into our homestays which is really fun. Yesterday we were at a party where the whole village was there. My host sister Sophie is about 17 and she’s really funny and she really loves to dance. Earlier that day we went on a field trip an hour from Diakhanor. It was a small town where the first president was born at. The village was built from the community. When they ate their oysters they would keep their shells, They put it on the ground and the government finally helped them with a lot of money to build the two bridges to get to both of the islands. One of the islands was for funerals, there was a part where Christians were buried and the other side were for Muslims. The houses are built really close to each other since they don’t have a lot of space so the kids play soccer on the bridge.
