Senegal
First problem in Senegal is a totally different
keyboard configuration. Apart from that, Senegal is the
place to be!
Flying over Europe with all cities brightly
illuminated, an in between stop at Lisboa, a great
down path over this old city, the bay and the bridge.
Then the flight over Africa, no lights, until the
approach to the airport of Dakar; again as in Europe
all streets illuminated and a lot of traffic,
notwithstanding the time of the day, three in the
morning.
I was welcomed at Omar's house. Planning what to do
began with demonstrating the NightReader, the
DemoSticks and the pulley. I have not yet got a clear
picture of the type of schooling Omar is directing.
However the plan is to instruct a team of one
electronic repair man, one school teacher; an older
student and a lady who will write down the steps
taken, as a base for a later to be written instruction
how to build the NightReader.
Tomorrow in the earley morning, I travel to the nearby
village of Keur Mousse. A small (?) problem could be
to find a manually to be turned grinding stone. Hand
grinding is well possible, but would take time. Only
time is scarce in this project. Cooperation, interest,
motivation is ample available.
I enjoy immenseley to drive with my friends from one
location of the town to an other quarter. So much to
see, this world is so much more alive than my own dear
country.
I write this in a Internet cafe close to the place
where I am lodged. There seem to be plenty of shops
like this one, so you can expect more news soon.
