till night or sell peanuts and bananas on the side of the road- a few women next to each other without any sense of competition and in serious trouble when it comes to calculating. Some among them improve their pocket money by selling homemade juice. Some of them are part of women’s associations where they help together to manage e.g. a chicken farm in a profitable way. So don’t expect to see depressed faces: they are very proud and on their way to change women’s lives for the generations to come! Local tailors are also worth visiting: you will not only get yourself handmade, perfectly suiting Senegalese clothes for little money, but also discover their total lack of business sense. You enter a dark room and meet a tailor who might wear his dirty pair of pyjamas full of holes. Don’t forget to bring your own mirror when you come to take your new clothes two days later; for there might be none at his place! A similar experience waits for you in the shops and restaurants: ordering something that is a little bit extraordinary -e.g. an egg with your sandwich- might cause frustration, but at least you can be sure that they don’t put on 88
a face; stay patient and don’t give up! And compare prices in the different shops from time to time as tourists are endangered to be an easy prey to a suddenly awakening interest in money issues! To speak Arabic is also a personal plus as most shops in Sédhiou are mainly kept by Mauretanians. In the field of education and development there is a lot going on. There are NGOs, financially supported by European countries as Italy and Austria (Enfance et Paix) that work for the development of Sédhiou, collaborating with local teachers, managers and social workers. Awareness raising campaigns against HIV, pre-adult pregnancy, female circumcision or Malaria are held regularly almost everywhere in Sédhiou. On these occasions people can make an HIV test for free, moscito nets are distributed and people’s sensitivity for important health or environmental topics is raised. Young people discovered the motortaxi driving as a very popular working possibility in Sédhiou. Taxi drivers are all over the streets and by waving your hand or whistling they stop to take you at any place in Sédhiou for 200 CFA. In the raining season they often wear raining jackets or little umbrellas fixed on their hats and drive over the bumpy roads of the village. 89
