White Mark On Gums With Pain

collages imagine

the "molding" making blocks.
in August we were told that "no women molding, it is an office of men" ...
and now there are them, breaking molds.

My Nose Look Different In Light

work ... Dynamical


Imagine that your name is Awa, Aissatou, Maimouna, Coumba .. . and you are one of many women of Joal-Fadiouth ...



... No job, na da anything. You're married. Your husband has no job, your brother singles living with you, and neither has a job.


have two daughters and a baby of six months. Most goes to school, yet small, it helps you watch your baby when you can not have it strapped to her back.

Maybe next year aiming for a la pequeña a la guardería , porque dicen que es una buen a preparación para el colegio. Y tú quieres que a las niñas les vaya bien en el cole. De pequeña no estudiaste, y aunque ahora vas a clases de alfabetizaci ón, te cuesta mucho trabajo. Lo que te preocupa un poco, es que si la pequeña empieza la guardería, ya no podrá ayudarte con el bebé, y cómo te vas a arreglar para hacer los trabajos de la casa...?

Es difícil cuidar de tres criaturas, vestirlas, alimentarlas, educarlas, especially when they lack adequate money and more you handle it virtually alone. Thankfully, the network of neighbors, mothers and sisters and support functions ...

But children are a blessing. N UNCA did nothing to prevent pregnancy, but something I explained in the Health Center, after the third delivery. Were not convinced. Also you think your husband will not like the idea, and that would like to encourage you to take a second wife.


In the morning you wake up soon, you will find a drum water to the tap, and send the baby to buy bread and bags of coffee, sugar and powdered milk for breakfast that day, while you l as things at home first. Desp UES, when most are going to school, to prepare two small and salts with them to market, to find what you need to prepare food. flower shop also bissap juice and sell to the port afternoon.

The day flies you; fetching water , cooking, limp iar, laundry, throwing out dirty water, prepare coal for iron ... sometimes not give you time to go to the literacy class Social Center. Above all, if there is a sudden, as one of the small become ill and have to spend the afternoon at the Health Center, or if a neighbor needs your help . I feel sorry when absences, because then it costs more to keep up and you get discouraged a bit. But, indeed, the other is also missing a lot.


Late in the afternoon going to the port to sell the juice bissap . is, as always crowded. Some waiting for the arrival of the canoes, others sold ndo things: water, cacahua tees, kola nut ... there are those to sell clothes and shoes sports. You sit and you offer juice, depending on how many Women are also selling, adjust the price. Then purchase some fish. The price depends on how you have gone fishing. Shopping golden sardines, which have good looking and not expensive. Fortunately, to cook rice and prepare a good Thiebuyene , you do not need much.


worked for a time in fumeries , smoked fish cleaning informed and drying. I had to leave, because you worked for some burkinabis paying very little and always late. Once you stand with a few other women, asking for 75 CFA per bucket of clean fish, instead of the 50 CFA that you pay, that day I gave the that you asked, but the next morning I had gradually phased out by others who accept the first price.


know some women who work the fish in their own ovens, have an advocacy group Women (GPF) and thus have more power. You belong to the GPF in your neighborhood, and every Thursday you come together to make the accounts of the tontine .

With all this, get win some money to get by day.


And what are your expectations ...?


Well there was a time when you prayed for your husband found a job. Now you'd rather be you who take the din ero home. Manage it better, and sometimes even manage to save to buy a beautiful piece of cloth and make some clothes ... Want to be always well dressed and groomed, and children alike. But mostly, you want your daughters to have another life, to study and to find a good job.

And you also want to learn, because you know you could do many things, you are strong and capable. Do you think one day you have to go through the Women's Social Centre "Fuenlabrada", say they have interesting seminars and workshops, learn to make natural soaps, dyes and more things that they sell as a whole. Now there are several women in the work, mounted armor and make blocks, and tell you that you are being trained as masons ... If you were to make training and started working in the shops, maybe you could enroll in the small nursery, and also have to buy books for school at most, and you could make half a day before the literacy classes, to make things, but then you'd have to ask a neighbor to cook for your husband and your brother, and when would go to market more ...


... Oops! Anyway, it will have to be tomorrow, look what time it is! Soon your husband comes home from playing cards in the public square, and you have not yet prepared couscous for dinner ...

Anda daughter, help me, and will do their homework later .. .!
