At WAIST there is a talent show and photo competition and this year I decided to enter some of my photos. Peace Corps volunteers are a disproportionately creative/artsy bunch, so I never thought I would actually win. But, surprise surprise my photos took two categories! Cool huh?

peace corps, integration, thomas whitaker, dindafello, summer camp, senegal, west africa, traditional clothing, africa, chief

Chief Aliou Diallo - Winner Category "Integration"

peace corps, senegal, west africa, africa, dindafello, young girl, traditional clothes, celebration

La Reine - Winner Category "Individual Portrait"

Congratulations! Barbara

They haven’t arrived yet, but my mouth is watering now in anticipation! If they are melted then I will have to have the patience to put them in the freezer and wait.
