Mom is back stateside and we are slowly recovering from the hole her absence has left. The good news though is that we found an organization that met mom's interests. Village Pilote works with street children (both Talibe and runaway kids) across Dakar and tries to give them a leg up in life. We are very happy with the work they do at their centers and in the juvenile detention centers.
It feels rather strange to not have the holidays looming any more, but now that school is back in session lots of birthdays are around the corner. That seems to be our main means of social activity lately--someone's birthday party. Mom and I are already talking about what to do for Gusi's birthday. How big? What kind of cake? Cupcakes in lieu of cake or as well as? Whatever it is, I'll have to have lots since Gusi will refuse all other foods that day.
So, back to normal is how it goes...and the beat goes on.
