Freezing Fog

Well, it appears that freezing fog is when the fog freezes to things!  It was absolutely gorgeous this morning!  It looked like everything was covered in snow!



It even froze the cobwebs!

Three Pawns

Image
I have so much that has happened in the last few days that I want to share, but I spent several hours during our beach day today playing, watching, and learning about a new game that I can’t wait to share with all of you! The game can be played with just a few items and as it is a logic game, it can be played by a wide variety of levels. The name of the game loosely translates to Three Pawns. Our beach day venue had a game board painted onto an old wooden bench. You could paint your own on a simple canvas or piece of wood, or you could draw it on a whiteboard, or you could draw it onto a small piece of paper, or you could even create the game board on the sand. Two people play the game, and each will need three items. One of you could be pennies, and the other could be paper clips, or different colored tokens, but today, sitting on the beach, one of us was pinecones, and the other was shells. The game board should have nine dots in a square formation with lines, connecting each of ...

Gandon's Welcome

Image
The small town of Gandon, just outside of Saint Louis, was where Brenda (my fellow Fulbrighter) and I spent much of our time while in Saint Louis.  It was here that our host lived where we were treated to several excellent, generous meals.  It was here that we were taken to a tailor and fitted for our own dresses.  And it was here that we got to visit even more schools. From my previous posts, you may have already gotten the sense of how different the schools were to our own schools, so I won't spend too much time focused on that.  But I will say, the shock of what they get by with remained with each classroom that we walked in.  We visited the high school where our host taught.  There were 6 - 8 classrooms, set in two different rows on the expansive sand with goats wandering freely, a small building for the teachers and a small canteen where students could purchase meals.  Classrooms were bare with desks and a chalkboard with often 60-80 students in a...

Importance of Religion

Image
Senegal has been settled and heavily influenced by the Arabic nation coming from East Africa. As in many cultures, religious beliefs strongly impact the everyday lives of the people here, and so you see the Islamic faith deeply rooted in the people and in the culture. Ideas of non-violence, peace and hospitality are at the heart of the people in Sénégal. A sense of community and sharing amongst each other is a way of life here. These ideas are all emphasized in the Quran. As an outsider, not only of nationality, but of religion, I have been welcomed with open arms, and absolutely no judgment nor trace of hopes to convert me. I am so impressed by the people of Senegal. When you have the privilege of traveling to a Muslim country, you have the privilege of hearing the call to prayer multiple times throughout the day. Sometimes it awakens me at 5 AM, but it is a calming, gentle way to awaken. His voice, speaking a language, unknown to myself, calls the people of faith to take time to turn...
