Hey, I’m loving Senegal more and more. We are currently at our second homestay in temento samba. I wasn’t as nervous going into this homestay but I was scared not knowing a lot of Pulaar but using my book as reference really helped. Anyways the first couple of hours in my homestay I got to walk with my mom to the community garden and help her water her section of the the garden. This really unlocked a core memory of mine. Because when i was younger, me and my mom would walk through the neighborhood waving to everyone and going to the community garden where i also helped my mom water the plants and food crops in out our garden and she would teach me out to put seeds in. Being in the community garden here in Senegal is so beautiful from seeing all the women getting water from the tunnel to watering there plants is amazing. They might be carrying caring water but they still greet and they have so much joy doing it and it makes me really happy.
