Tambacounda is located east of The Gambia, the Senegalese inland, over 500 kilometers from Dakar. The city is large and airy. It has about 80,000 inhabitants. The temperatures are very high from March. Unlike most tourist towns of the sea, "Tamba" is a quiet town, punctuated by the pitch of the carriages. Nearby, the Niokolo Koba is a reserve listed as a World Heritage Site and International Biosphere Reserve.
120 km of Tamba, south west, in Upper Casamance village Thianfara was the object of our single output, half of the stay. Here, far from the city, Africa truer than ever greeted us with great emotion for them as for us. .JPG)
"It's still far Tamba? Yes, it is still far away. Especially when the road is full of craters, it takes an hour to 30 km, and it must stop three times due to failures ... Everyone is tired but nobody loses his good humor: "It Tamba wins ... "and finally, at midnight, after 11 H of road, there it is, here we are! " Sylviane

" I had never been to Africa and I left with a slight apprehension ... (and if they did not like me ... etc.).. Everything happened better than I could dare to hope. "Leah .JPG)
" One thing is certain: this trip, they waited and enthusiasm is to go. Except for Celia, is their first contact with Africa. Fancy discoveries, encounters and a project our 7 kids know why they are there and in their luggage, there's a healthy dose of motivation! The yard is essential, but for me, is what they will, together, learn about themselves, about others and about another culture that concern me. The encounter with Africa never leaves indifferent is this meeting and it will cause that I feel partly responsible. "Sylviane
