Happy Independence Day!
Sixty years ago Senegal peacefully gained its independence from France. We asked our staff to share what a typical Independence Day celebration looks like:
Last year the whole Andando team participated in the parade in Keur Soce along with our partners in the community gardens.
This year, all gatherings and events have been cancelled in response to coronavirus. Families instead will still be celebrating in their homes, with loved ones. (Read more about Senegal’s Independence here.)
To our friends in Senegal, we are celebrating along with you. Happy Independence Day!
