Jam Walli (Good Morning) from The Gambia

The past 14 days in The Gambia have seen challenges, obstacles, and have been highly rewarding.  I am learning Pulaar in my training village of Sare Musa which is in the Lower River Region of The Gambia about 12 kilometers from Soma.  My fellow trainees Nic, John, and Ally have been an amazing support and we continue to grow daily in our village.  I have received my Gambian name which is Abdulie Bah, after my younger host brother.  My language and culture facilitator Babucarr is taking amazing care of us.  I could not imagine what my first two weeks in country would be without him. The picture below are from our naming ceremony. I hope that this message greets you well.  I'll be sure to post again as time permits.

Haa yesso (until next time),
