You are so wise. I would add “beyond your years” as that is how the phrase goes, but your way of educating through empathizing with others and through modelling groundedness within yourself make me question the nature of that phrase. As you begin this next journey in Senegal, I hope that you’ll be able to easily hold close to your heart these homes and families you have with the same clarity with which you express in this post! I cannot wait to hear how your experience in Mboro evolves over the next few months.

Jamm ak jamm,
