The New Year | Fear and Loathing in Linguere

Fear and Loathing in Linguere. A Savage Journey Into the Heart of Senegal. Posted by: Writing Advisor MacAfee. January 3, 2013. Well, everyone, it’s 2013, the year that I return home to America! But… c’est la vie. Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving. -Terry Pratchett. Laquo; I’m on the way! On January 4, 2013.

The Gammu Gamut | Fear and Loathing in Linguere
https://macmacmacafee.wordpress.com/2013/02/03/the-gammu-gamut
Fear and Loathing in Linguere. A Savage Journey Into the Heart of Senegal. Posted by: Writing Advisor MacAfee. February 3, 2013. Islamic brotherhoods in Senegal have an annual celebration of the birth of Mohammed, called here a Gammu. The date is pretty flexible, which means that if you want, you can attend multiple Gammus in multiple places. We in the field call this ‘hitting the Gammu Circuit’. I hit it hard. Next up was Gammu Xol Xol! Sisters at Gammu Xol Xol. Baay Birame and I. Laquo; The New Year.

Under Senegal Skies: October 2011
http://undersenegalskies.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 2, 2011. An Update, long overdue! I have no good excuse for my long blog-a-battical. I feel like I’ve been running around for months now and never have enough time in internet-able locales to justify prioritizing a blog post over emails and grant proposals. Why do I feel so busy? I pose that question only semi-rhetorically Am I really busy, or do I just make myself feel that way because I’m an American raised with the American values of go-go-go(! HIV/AIDS-related short programs in Wolof.

Under Senegal Skies: March 2011
http://undersenegalskies.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 6, 2011. For those of you that come to this blog looking for shrewd cultural anecdotes and authentic insight regarding immersion in an African village, this post might not be for you. (not the first section, at least.) For Senegalese PCVs, President's Day weekend meant a three-day marathon of running around, partying, and painting Dakar red under the title of the West African Invitational Softball Tournament, AKA W.A.I.S.T. Night 1: 8 pm. We were set up with cushy ex-pat homestays in Dakar.

Under Senegal Skies: November 2011
http://undersenegalskies.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 18, 2011. Reasons why I love America. Reason #1: Habitat for Humanity, Big Brothers and Sisters Program, Audobon Society. what do all these things have in common? Reason #2: No Fly Zone. Am I wrong, or have flies basically been eradicated from America? Not so here in Senegal. The flies are bad. Wanna take a nap in the middle of the day without feeling the perpetual tickle of itsy-bbitsy legs landing on you? Good luck. I dream of the day I can take a daytime nap again. How did we do that?

Under Senegal Skies: August 2011
http://undersenegalskies.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 11, 2011. Where Will the Children Play? It’s a wild scene here at the PC-Senegal Linguere regional headquarters! We’re nutty with excitement over a new project we have in the works. High schoolers - 21 girls and 21 boys - against one another in a tournament that exemplified everything from focused athletic ability to a genuine fervor for organized sport. Until it gets chipped away at, the total price tag on the website below might seem intimidating, but we're receiving support from a num...

Under Senegal Skies: June 2011
http://undersenegalskies.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 23, 2011. Halfway There (But Where's "There"? My year in country mark was back in March, but I felt like the more significant milestone was the anniversary of my installation in Ngaraff, which came and went on May 18. While I was, ironically, out of village, traveling from Dakar to Linguere after returning from Morocco. It has triggered a fair amount of reflection on what I’ve done and am doing; what living my life here, rather than elsewhere, actually means. Over an open fire,. My year ma...
