Eight Month Vacation?

Semester in Senegal? All fun and games? maybe a little bit. since our "courseload" isn't as heavy, i've been looking for some more substantial things to do:

  • Being a contributing writer. Are there any magazines interested in Senegalese fashion or a broad abroad? Or do you already have a magazine and you just need someone to make your coffee in the morning and make sure your danish is hot and fresh? Either way, I'm here to help.

  • Empire des Enfants - local orphanage accepting volunteers. Lady who runs it says the one thing they really need is shoes for all 34 children. I know a bunch of American students relatively rolling in dough. I smell a benefit coming on. It smells like an excuse to throw a party.

  • And oh yeah, there's always starting our own NGOs
    • Resolving conflicts between rival silverback gorillas by teaching them American Sign Language
    • Salad for orphans
    • Orphans for the homeless
    • Rehabilitating women who ventured into the workplace and were unsucessful by reintroducing them to the kitchen
    • PSP for migrant workers
    • Ponies for orphans
    • Orphans for ponies
