Serving in Senegal. and After. Wednesday, March 5, 2008. Hippos, hitting the field in Dakar, and some other joys of living in West Africa. Once again, I am quite behind on my blog entries. A lot has happened since the last. My apologies if this becomes long-winded! She’s calling you home for dinner! Or, "That crocodile won’t eat you – you’re too skinny! We also went to a great open-air bar with live jazz (until it started raining, but even that was great since I haven’t seen rain since September! It came...

Serving in Senegal... and After: January 2008

Serving in Senegal. and After. Sunday, January 20, 2008. 8221; Somehow it all worked out. I sat in on a few cataract surgeries and a couple of trachoma surgeries, something that I obviously couldn’t have done back home. Trachoma causes your eyelids to turn under and your eyelashes scratch your cornea causing blindness. The surgery turns the eyelids back to “normal” preventing any further blindness and greatly improving comfort. Really fascinating! We have a lot of bike riding ahead of us! I served as a P...

Serving in Senegal. and After. Friday, June 15, 2007. One month in the village. Otherwise I think people are getting more used to me in the village. A few of the kids are still afraid of the white stranger who now lives in the village but some of the kids in my compound have taken to me. It is nice to be loved if even by a 3 year old!

http://jamieanderson02.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Serving in Senegal. and After. Tuesday, April 22, 2008. Earth Day (in the States). It's interesting to think about Earth Day, especially as an American currently living in America. It has been nice to be home and take advantage of the "comforts" that we all take for granted - and the comforts of my parent's house! An Average Day (for me) in America:. 10-minute shower with several gallons of HOT water. Lights on in the house for 6(? 2 hours on the computer. 1 gallon of gas for my car. Virtually no trash, ...

Serving in Senegal. and After. Friday, April 11, 2008. The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. Over 24 hours of airplanes and airports and I am back in Yuba. City, California. My week in Dakar was a good transition on my way back to the States and of course I already felt like I was in America once I stepped onto the plane. (Airplane food is pretty amazing, by the way! While in Senegal, one common conversation started like this: " Iboka. Translation: "You're from America? View my complete profile.
