Senegal, officially the République du Sénegal, is at the far western edge of the continent of Africa and much of the country is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on the west, on the north by Mauritania, on the east by Mali, and on the south by Guinea and Guinea-Bissau. Senegal also surrounds the tiny country called the Gambia.

The two major ethnic groups of Senegal are the Wolof and the Fulani people with a wide array of other groups included. Although French is the official language, Wolof is the most widely spoken with the Fulani language of Pulaar as another primary language in the region.

The Lonely Planet on-line guide (http://www.lonelyplanet.com/worldguide/destinations/africa/senegal) describes Senegal's tourist attractions: "Tropical Senegal is lauded for beauties both natural and urbane. With its suave capital, Dakar - many travelers' favorite amongst the larger African cities - and its entourage of internationally known musicians, Senegal brings in more visitors than any other country in the region.

Most of them head to Senegal for its stunning coastline, where lazy beach days can be followed by cocktail-fueled nights. But just around the corner from the busy resorts, tiny fishing villages tempt with a slice of real life and winding estuaries invite solitary pirogue and bird watching trips."

First stop - Dakar

Sep 24, 2006 - Oct 05, 2006
The two weeks have gone very fast. We experienced so much. I think it's a big difference to be in a developing country than just speak about it. Unfortunately I had to take the most picture out of the bus because the driver couldn't stop for everyone. Anyway the most people didn't like it when we wanted to take some pictures. But the children in the traditional village liked it very much and ached to see the pictures. We closed our excursion with a nice dinner at a restaurant. There was a mix...

Touchdown in Dakar

Jan 14, 2007 - Feb 05, 2007
Our last morning in Dakar, the plan was to get up early and head to the bus station so we could get our names on a list to ensure we'd actually have a seat.  For those who don't get on the list, seating is not always an option and many end up sitting on little boxes in the aisle for the duration of the trip.  This is no easy fete we discovered so I was happy to have a seat.  I set my alarm for 5 a.m. and quickly dressed with the intention of waking Jesse and Matt up. ...

Through my blog I will tell you about lots of humanitarian actions throughout the world but since you always have to start somewhere I will tell you about the first destination where I did a humanitarian action: Senegal. Through my job I'm able to mobilise groups and take them during their trip to little villages to help the people there. You can do a lot of things in a country where people have nothing but this is what we did: - we brought all kind of things to villages located far fr...

I wake up and have to go to Les Ambassades. I don't know what else to do. It's become a habit that I can't break. I always see the most interesting mix of characters at my favorite breakfast spot. This whole trip they've been telling us to dress conservatively and not show to much skin. But then, a very voluptuous girl overflowing out of her short shorts and low-cut shirt caught me off guard. Yup - sure locals are sketched out by too much skin. I just found it humourously ironic. I head back...
