Our friend Jessie Seiler is in Senegal with the Peace Corp.  She writes an excellent blog occasionally has a burst of posts on Facebook and is raising money to distribute anti-malaria nets in her village. Jessie went on an excellent Grand Canyon river-rafting trip with us in 2004.  I believe this is where she learned lots of the skills that she is putting to use in Senegal.  Telling tall tales, being to hot, unsanitary conditions, unsavory companions etc.
