DAY 4

Day 4:

To day we had dinner with Daggah, she say that best time of year to visit The Gambia is during the winter. This time of year is the driest and coolest but still over 25°C everyday though.

we asked her about the living conditions here. She told us that when you do not have a job here you do not get any support like we get in Norway.

Here in Gambia you try to survive if you don’t have a job. It is very difficult she says, you have to wash your clothes in the sea, cook for children when you have hardly any food, but if you have a job when it goes much better, then you have home, food, and your children can go to school.

Daily life for many Gambians revolves simply around business whether it is simply selling mirrors, combs and brushes on the ground; selling a barrel of oranges on the street; or selling cold water, ice treats, peppers and spices, fish and peanuts, clothing, fabric, shoes, belts, books, art and even money! Yes money!

Her you see a women with child on the back and clothes on the head, I cud newer accomplish to go with a book on my head.
