Dakar Fun

Back in Dakar for another weekend of softball, movie marathons and all around madness. I know, my life is rough, huh? Played catcher in the two games yesterday and am limping around today regretting it. I def dont work out here. Not much has really happened thats eventful these last two days, but I feel like I should post because I have time and access to the internet at the moment before I head back to site.

This week I am planning on meeting with several NGOs in the area to talk about what they do and get a feel for the work thats being done in my community already and hopefully find out if they are interested in a little help. PAPES, which works with small business development, has an office in Pout and I am meeting with them tomorrow afternoon and will head into Thiès on Wednesday to meet with Tostan, which was started by a former PCV and does development work. Also hoping to hit up one of these literacy courses finally, but well see. Still trying to find out where I fit into this whole development picture, who I can work with and what I can do for them that will be helpful. Luckily I have nothing but time to think about this. By the next time I post, I may have a potential work partner. Im starting to get cabin fever and really need to step up my game here. Talking about work that is, not softball. So yeah, thats my life.
