Peace Corps is celebrating its 50 year anniversary this year. We volunteers who are lucky enough to be in the middle of our service have reaped the benefits – like a tote bag, and a patch. No big deal. Last night, we attended a live broadcast of the ‘Fatu Show’. We heard that Fatu is the Gambian equivalent of Oprah. The show was a lot of fun made complete with dancing and all the local languages spoken by volunteers. Ben had visited another volunteer while I was in Basse for the camp, and that volunteers family got really excited when they saw Ben on the Fatu Show! You are supposed to be able to watch it online here: http://www.grts.gm/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=118&Itemid=104
Also, a volunteer has made some videos of our time here in Gambia. I don’t think Ben or I are included in any of the videos yet, but because Gambia is a small country, we do know everyone in them. Here is a link to her blog: http://peacecorpspop.blogspot.com/2011/09/pretty-and-smart-in-pink.html
