Diarra Pont
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."

-John F. Kennedy

Latrine Project Approved!

I just got an email letting me know that my project for latrines in my village was approved! A write up I did can be found here. (A few details were skewed in the description somehow, but one can get the general idea. Also, there is a donation link, although the funds are already available so no need to donate). This is wonderful! I will certainly have work to do upon returning to village and organizing for materials to be transported out. Yay!
