I can't forget one thing: I was in a very small village in Senegal, just huts.
All the children caming for meet, we spend hours smiling each other and play,
the men weren't all around for work the land. We talking sittin on the floor
with the head-village, He tell us the histoty village and thanks because we go
there for knowing and he tell I was the first white go there just for this, the
last one were french for building a new well and Unicef for children
nourishment.
They were very poor, but at the lunch time they ask to me if I want to eat with
them, they have few rise and beans, nothing else.
I give to them some present, sugar, bread, dress for children. They want
definitly give to me a present too. A chicken alive! And my senegalese friend
tell me, don't refuse, it's bad. So I go with the chicken and full heart.
This it's for say how generous are people without nothing and how TERANGA ,
hospitality it's important for them.
A woman with a baby ill, ask to me milk, but I hadn't...
A suggestion, when you visit some village take with you few food for children,
the baby before 2 or 3 age most died for undernourish. And take always present
for people hospitality, in Africa also give money for present it's normal.
