Sama Turondo

Here is a pic of me and my turondoo, or namesake in Wolof, Nene. She is my host grandma (host dad's mom) and the elder of our house.  She wakes up early, makes coffee for the family and then heads out to sell lots of good food stuff in the local market.

She has a quiet and strong spirit and never fails to make me feel right at home.  I feel quite lucky to have such a strong female figure around the house and even luckier to have the honor of being named after her.

    We missed you a lot at the beach this past week. It seems you are adjusting very well to your new enviorment. What will be your job to help these people in their economic situation?. Where will you be after the 25th? How long does it take for a care -package to reach you?

    You can send anything up until July 25th as I'll be at the training center until August 20th (we give stuff about a month to get here).
