it's been a while!

i know i haven't been updating, but things have been going really well! i'm in thies right now but about to go back to ndayane (where i went about a month ago and met the women selling beads on the beach) i live there now! after a lot of travelling around and looking for a base, i realized im just not cut out for life in the big cities. now, i have a room with a family in ndayane and i'm working in the mornings at the preschool in the village. i taught the kids the song 'london bridge is falling down' on friday, that was fun. but it's easier in ndayane to get to know people and become a part of the community. i'm still going to be trying to dig into the disability scene, and hopefully seeing if there are ways to link people in smaller villages to whats going on in bigger cities like thies. ndayane is really beautiful and right on the ocean too, the people there are of the lebu ethnicity and they're incredibly nice. i will have to upload pictures later bc this connection is really slow! but i wanted to atleast update some good developments in my work here.
