Horse

On my way coming from Brikama, I came across this horse under the tree resting and chewing hay. These horses are sometimes used for transporting goods like palm trees for roofing from one place to another. They are not so common now since we have many cars moving from everywhere but they are very useful because they are cheaper.

House

This is my family's house. As you can see it is made from local building materials. The walls are mud brick and the roof is from palm leaves. It leaks a little in rainy season so it has that blue plastic on top.

Compound Work

Everybody's always interested in preparing food and here are some of the people in the compound fixing some beans to eat with supper.

Compound Kids

One thing you find in most Gambian compounds is lots of kids. Here's just some of the kids in my family compound. Their names are Demba, Jainaba, Jabou, Jabou, Musa, Issaka and Abdoulie.

Compound

In the Gambia we always like to greet someone before we start talking about anything else. So, Salaam Aleikum! I hope you are well.

While this blog is called Serrekunda Daily Photo, this first photo is not in Serrekunda. It is in Brikama. It is a village close to Serrekunda. I went there to visit my family and this is their compound.

The young girl is my younger sister's daughter. Her name is Jabou.
