Last week I participated in an HIV Education Bike Trek where I went from school to school with seven other volunteers teaching students about HIV/AIDS. The trek actually consisted of around thirty volunteers, plus Gambian supporters, divided into three teams which convened at the end of the week in Farafenni. Our team worked our way from Janjanbureh (MacCarthy Island) to Farafenni, visiting schools along the way. It was really a great experience and it inspired me to start planning a mini bike trek in our region early next year. More to come on that later. I took a ton of pictures, so I'm going to break this into two posts:
Double decker rams on top of a geli on my way to Janjanbureh. Very impressive! This is how you know Tobaski is coming...
