The third leg of our in-field research mission has brought us to Kolda, within the Cassamance Region of Senegal. The region of Kolda has been stabilized, and military presence is significantly less relative to other areas of the Cassamance. Kolda is refreshing, green, and lush.. and a nice change after almost a month spent in the steamy desert of Tambacounda. In Tambacounda, life was restricted - and the days planned according to the heat. The climate here in Kolda is tropical, the scenery jungle-like, the ambiance tranquil, and the people very calm, warm, and grounded. Our residence is walled within one grand village, filled with wonderful families, curious children, and life - simplified. The evenings allow for long walks through the village, exchanging with families in the region, taking in the scenery, and learning... Living in Kolda for the past two weeks has brought me internal peace, restored my creativity, and already connected me with people very special to my heart.
