On the 4th
of May we had a 5k race on the Corniche event that was student organized with
my group that I volunteer with (long paved road that lines the beach) We had
several sponsers and a website that we raised over 3000 American dollars with!
The proceeds went to the school I volunteer at and an organization for women. Also
check out those cool shirts… cause I designed them! I also played with Sous
L”Arbre Acoustique there. By the way if you don’t like them yet you should go
like their facebook page.
It was kinda funny
because it wasn’t really a real race as in a race where you try to finish
first. Since it was for the kids, we didn’t actually try to go fast, and we
would run sometimes and walk sometimes. I had kids hanging on my arms, singing
songs in wolof most of the time. Also the front people would stop and wait for
the people who were going slower all the time. like I’ve said before, Senegal
is not a very competitive place. Everyone is a winner! It was cool to see all
the girls coming out for sports too! Even if some of them were running in their
dresses and sandles.
