end of week 5

So my really exciting news for the day is that i met some women who are working with moms to help them breastfeed. I communicated with them in broken Wolof but basically i told them that my mom in does the same thing. They told me a bit about their program to increase awareness about the greatness of breastfeeding here in Senegal. They also are working on giving vaccinations to children so they wont be as prone to certain diseases. The say it is working because they have seen less and less of some disease. Hopefully, an exchange of knowledge will begin between these women and some lactation consultants in the states.

ok thats all for now. here is your first wolof lesson:

To say hi we say "nanga def?" its like "how are you" and you answer "maangi fii rekk" which literaly means i am here only.

jamm rekk!
