Four Days in NOFLAY

From August 9-12, I was in the village of Noflay w/ a team from Bunker Hill Community College, which is in Boston, Massachusetts. The team was in Senegal primarily to work with Philippe Sadio & David Bies. Philippe & David are best friends & partners in a sports ministry project that they created called, "Sport Life & Blooming". I really just came along to hang out with the kids in Noflay... & to spend time w/ Philippe. :-) David brought his family too - his wife, Mimi & two of their 3 kids, Jacques & Germaine. Below you'll see pictures of all the fun we had...

The Rainy Season

For those of you that have been wondering what it's really like here during the rainy season, below are some pictures so you can see for yourself...
l
when the rains come

the front of our apartment becomes a river
l
that we have to wade thru in order to get to the street

and the newly formed river spreads all the way down the street

and around the side of the apartment
l
which makes travelling by foot quite...umm, interesting
