Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our friends and family back home!

We celebrated our Gambian Thanksgiving today with our favorite meal, domoda- a delicious spicy peanut sauce served over rice. A cold pitcher of mango juice made the meal extra special.  It’s not quite apple pie, but we’ll take what we can get!

    Dear Jeff and Alex,

    here’s wishing you and everyone at the hospital a very happy, and belated Thanksgiving! I can’t believe I spent 20-27 at Brookhaven Natinal lab, which covered both, my birthday and thanksgiving!!! In any case, I’m back and busy for a few more weeks. I have my candidacy on the 10th of dec. and am somewhat anxious to get it done with. Let’s see how it goes. I’ll keep you posted.

    Also, the neem tree extracts should be pretty good as even in India, it has been used for centuries for its amazing medicinal properties. In fact, the stem (free of leaves, or maybe even with, although it is biiiiiittttteeer) is used as a ‘use-and-throw’ toothbrush in many rural areas of India to this day. Hope that works out fine for you all for the time being, until you find a way to get your hands on tested, disinfectant/soap.

    take care and much love from all your friends here at GW…..

    bads.
