Thiès!

Last week there was a Health/EE Summit at the Thiès Training Center, which meant that all the Health and Environmental Education volunteers in Senegal came in to talk about projects, do presentations on Best Practices for things that went well (which is helpful) and Lessons Learned for things that were fiascoes  (which is far more entertaining) and grant-writing and whatnot. 

Also, there are some very savvy artisan ladies who came and set up shop in the Training Center courtyard, so Emma and Ivy and I did a little necklace-and bracelet shopping during breaktime.

Then we went for a walk downtown and saw this huge, green, spiky, neat-looking caterpillar. Good times.
