In December 1995, I was a senior double majoring in Anthropology and French at Colby College in Waterville, Maine. I had just taken a class called Ethnographies of Africa, and was desperate to spend some time there during my winter break. For four, heady, amazing weeks, I was fortunate to learn things about Senegal that almost no typical Western travelers have access to. Because John and Janet have maintained such close ties with their adoptive country, I walked away from my time in Senegal feeling like I had a substantial understanding for the people, languages, and cultures.
