Weathervane of Peace: January 2014

http://gabbingfromgambia.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

Sunday, January 12, 2014. Guest Post: Justin W. Cheers to Sarah and a job well done. If you get a chance, congratulate her. She will not except it out right like any humble person. She knows the job is never done but the spark of encouragement will help her to know it has not gone unnoticed, because that all she really want as a person who tends to work in the back ground. This is my recognizing you Sarah. Congratulation and a job well done! Thursday, January 2, 2014. Some photos off the slow internet.

Weathervane of Peace: October 2014

http://gabbingfromgambia.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Monday, October 6, 2014. Readjusting and some other things. I’ve had so many people tell me, “wow, you must be so glad you’re home! Africa dangerous…yeah the roads are can be pretty bad, and accidents happen, as they do everywhere. But in my short 5 months back, I’ve experience more victimization and ‘dangerous’ situations than I did in over two years there. Earlier I had put home into quotations. Home has been redefined for me. It’s not so much of a physical place as I feel like I have a h...The purpose...

Weathervane of Peace: July 2013

http://gabbingfromgambia.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

Wednesday, July 17, 2013. What else but some cute african kids- most of them are of my siblings or favorite baby in village. Mariama Jallow- they call her MJ, after Michael Jackson. Her co-mother is my best friend in village- even though they speak fula i'm at their compound very often. Aramita, my little sister, she's a wild one. Ramadan Sunset in my backyard. I am the luckiest girl. Fencing of The Gambia. Sesame Seed pod fencing. Then we have the thorn woven fencing. The reed fencing with wire holdings.

Weathervane of Peace: May 2014

http://gabbingfromgambia.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

Thursday, May 1, 2014. Full of fear that our strength was lost. We started from rebirth. Our feet dirty, skin brown, hearts uneven. We were challenged, broken down. Left standing, the only ones, we thought. Cried out, the drums answered. Training our hearts to the rhythm. We waited, searching, listening. Facing the universe, our ears awoke. To witness the whispering of the world. Calling our strength awake. Reborn, our feet dirty, skin brown. Hearts beating in union with the drums. What is the What?

Weathervane of Peace: April 2014

http://gabbingfromgambia.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Wednesday, April 9, 2014. The last of the day's. I really don't have even 17 more days in village, I have 12. I have paperwork to complete before I can get on a plane. I am heading to Justin's village this weekend so say my goodbye's to the Cham clan. And then back to TF. Everyone in village knows i'm leaving. I have had several requests to pack people into my luggage, which I thought was funny because we have that joke in the developed world too! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Weathervane of Peace: March 2014

http://gabbingfromgambia.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Sunday, March 9, 2014. My adorable 'bati' site mate, Shawn! Showed up and took a bunch of photos of the Garden. It is EXPLODING! Explaining differences in lettuce. Using groundnut shells as soil protection, it helps the soil retain moisture and prevents weeds. Carrying water, keeping the vegetables alive, women hard at work. Also "Mariama Sowe" we've adopted her into Fatty Kunda. She road her bike the entire length of the country! Tuesday, March 4, 2014. Peace Corps Service, explained. Sarah By The River.
