Diarra Pont: My village in southeastern Senegal, 75km west of Kedougou.
"Life in the Peace Corps will not be easy. There will be no salary and allowances will be at a level sufficient only to maintain health and meet basic needs. Men and women will be expected to work and live alongside the nationals of the country in which they are stationed—doing the same work, eating the same food, talking the same language.

But if the life will not be easy, it will be rich and satisfying. For every young American who participates in the Peace Corps—who works in a foreign land—will know that he or she is sharing in the great common task of bringing to man that decent way of life which is the foundation of freedom and a condition of peace."

Natural Disasters

As I am preparing this week to depart for Washington DC followed by Senegal, Hurricane Irene is expected to hit the east coast Sunday, the afternoon I am anticipating to land; this is after the exceptionally unusual earthquake that just hit that area as well... we will see how these natural phenomenons impact, if at all, my departure!
