The people of the village decided to clean the streets today. They burn the garbages and sieve the sand.
There is a strong smell of burned plastic during the whole day.
Lats week, in those streets, I was going to the shop to by an egg. I was worried.
An old man followed me and told me : "You ! Next Friday you have to sacrifice seven white colas".
A cola is not an animal, it is a nut. So, in reality, this is not a sacrifice, this is an offering.
I have to buy the nuts on the morning, because when it is fresh it is more white. Before the afternoon prayer
I have to give it to a talibe. The talibe are the children hanging empty boxes during the whole day,
waiting for a bit of money or a gift.
Tomorrow is already friday. I go with Maëlle for few days in the SIné Saloum.
I do not know if I will have an internet connexion.
But what I really wonder is : will I find the cola nuts and the child ?
