Sarah Arrives!

A month ago I came to Banjul to pick up our newest teammate. Rachel and I oriented Sarah to shopping for a months worth of supplies. We took things at a nice pace as Sarah had had a busy month in the USA prior to her arrival here.

After almost a week in Banjul, we headed home to Ndungu Kebbeh. The ferry wait wasn't bad. It was while waiting ON the ferry that I realized we hadn't photo documented Sarah's arrival. The picture that accompanies this post is Sarah on her return to Ndungu Kebbeh.
Welcome Back Gal!

I AM BACK!

It looks like I have been in cyber silence for too long. I am hoping to get back into the habit of blogging.
So, what can I tell you? It was a busy fall in NK. We had many quests and are very thankful for two new arrivals. Rachel arrived in November, believe it or not, her first weekend in the country she won a RAM. Yeah, it lives in her backyard. We are neighbors, so basically it is right next door. Some days I think it may end up as dinner yet! :) Rachel had a month to study Wolof and is now working in the clinic.

Sarah Damick arrived the first weekend in February. She is a career arrival so will be learning Wolof for a year before joining us in the clinic. Very exciting times!

I have been making more and more home visits. I love them. I like being out and about in the village. This month I made more than 25 visits. It sure does keep me busy. Julee and/or Jessica come with me. I look forward to afternoons when we can stop at a last compound for the day and have time for a nice chat and tea.

I am currently on vacation in Banjul. It is a dream vacation... except for the visits to the dentist. :)

Until next time, have a great week.
