Peace & Understanding – Following the Animal Example
By Joy Adjei In the words of Colette, 'it's crazy how a lot of animals look alike and act alike but are nothing alike.' Today at Reserve de Bandia we saw a bird helping clean a buffalo and antelope. We watched two different species, totally different from each other, helping each other out. At that … Continue reading Peace & Understanding – Following the Animal Example

Now, on … Continue reading Sobo Bade – La Petite Cote

The light of the full moon lit our way - allowing us quick passage before the children, our friends and the ambassadors of Teranga, were awake enough to process our departure. We are now eating dinner at the westernmost point of Africa after a long day in Dakar … Continue reading Coastal Senegal
Little Things
By Philip Robinson A week ago, there was a chance that I would not even make it to Senegal. There were obstacles in my way that made the trip more imaginative than realistic and it even came to a point where I almost gave up on the trip entirely. However, with the help of my sister … Continue reading Little Things
