Mariam-aaaaaaaah...
sad news: Mariama the sheep died two days ago :( the old ladies who owned her said she got a fever and died within three days of getting sick. obviously i am incredibly torn up about it. my namesake sheep is no more. but they tell me that Mariama's mom is pregnant again with Mariama Deux :) i hope its not a boy.

Dear Rachael:
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. Mariama seemed like such a sweet creature. The only consolation is that you will not be pressured into trying to arrange for her to emigrate to the US.
Hopefully the new "kid" will be healthier.
Love, Agi
Hi Rachael,
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and am reading it with great interest. I am an American graduate student at Oxford University's Environmental Change Institute and I'm headed to Senegal at the end of the month to do research in Sangalkam. I'm surprised and pleased to learn that the Peace Corps has a presence there as it has been extremely difficult to find out information about lodging/logistics for Sangalkam. I'd love to email with you about your experiences (and I notice you are also in the environmental field) and ask you more about Sangalkam and Senegal in general. Would you mind emailing me at buckleylila "at" gmail "dot" com? I hope to hear from you soon!
