Deberoo

Sunday afternoons are lazy. All the girls were getting their hair did (the plaiting is called deberoo in Mandinka) and I got mine done too. Jariatou sat me down and did it for me :)
Here is me and the schwester and a bunch of the girls at the church porch on Sunday. Nyima is doing Iso's hair... and Garam's doing Nyima's hair.

Aisha did Sukunda's hair

But really, the resident hair master is Anna Marie, and so later I got Anna Marie to do my hair in smaller braids.

June has picked up the habit somehow of calling me J.S. Park whenevr he sees me. I yell Evra back at him. Somehow we've all earned soccer names...

Anyway, this has resulted in June coming up with a new nickname for me. Now whenever he sees me he yells "RASTA!"
