New Friends--George and Diana

Some of the first people that we met in Dakar were church members that live across the hall from our apartment. George is one of the members of a 6-man committee that leads the church. He and his wife Diana have two children, Jethro, age 4, and Prisca (short for Priscilla), age 9 months. George and Diana speak French and English, but Jethro speaks only French. He is in preschool now, but he will not learn English until he is a little older.



The first day that we arrived in Dakar, Diana and Faith (the preacher's wife) treated us to a meal of fish and rice, a traditional meal from Ghana, their home country. In the photo Diana is on the left, then a worker, then Faith. They are standing in front of the doorway to the apartment. Notice the sewing machine in the photo. I asked Diana if she sews, and she said "No, I have a tailor who comes here to sew for me."


These are photos of their apartment.
On the table are water bottles, which are necessities in Senegal! The tap water is not safe to drink.

George is a very talented man. He teaches classes, leads singing, and does many other works.
