Contacting Me

There will be a couple different ways of contacting me during my trip. It would be really awesome if you could write me!

1. Once I get to my destinations I will be able to give you my mailing adress for letters
and such. Just ask me to send you it!
2. You can email me at taylor@westafrica.com
3. Or, if you have facebook, you can contact me through that!

What on earth are you doing Taylor?!?!

Here is a very brief overview of where I will be going and what I will be doing;

1. Dakar, Senegal (2 months)

The first month will be spent acclimating to the climate/culture and the French language. I will teach an English class as well. For the two months I am there, I will also be taking music classes as and singing in a local Tuareg choir.

2. Timbuktu, Mali (3 weeks)

Help at a local ministry by teaching a Computing course. The basics, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint. I will also get to visit a Children's project; I'm very excited for this since I love kids!

3. Thies, Senegal (1.5 month)

Helping at a kids center that helps bring children off the the street and give them food.

4. The Gambia (1 month)

Teaching Computing courses as well as spending time with kids at a school.
