My Trip to Africa

Ms. Cameron showed me around.  The campus here has a lounge, computer room with 25 computers, laboratories, and library not to mention administrative offices, faculty offices and lecture halls. They also have a cafeteria on campus.  

The time I spent there, I was able to make a lot of new friends and learn about their culture. One interesting aspect of their culture was meal time. They usually gather around in a big room, share meals in a big plate and eat with their hand. I noticed that husbands and wives do not eat together. They eat breakfast at 11 am, lunch at 4 pm, and dinner at 11 pm. The majority of the Senegalese practice Islam. I met a few people that came here from all over the world to study Islam.  I was able to learn more about the religion and how interesting it is.          

My trip to Senegal, Africa has been a great experience and an eye opener.  It made me appreciate all the amenities and facilities that we have in the US. I will go back there and help out anytime I can. I want to thank Dr. Leone and the staff of St. Christopher's for giving me the opportunity to obtain the experience and fulfill my dream. I believe the experience and friends I've made will last a life time and assist me in becoming a better physician.
