May ? 19th (the days are passing slowly in this in between stage)

Tabanani(jatropha) -baaxul. They're against it! The teachers. Mooy, the one thing I thought was their way out of "poverty." A service to the world. But Ahmet Fall says that to grow food over fuel when food is not enough is a crime. Diomaye says yes, of course food is enough, for you guys. Fary -how can we baay (leave) peanuts, rice, corn, in pursuit of your other foods? This is part of our culture, and where would we be healthwise if we left peanuts and all the nutrients it has?

Wax naa degg. We don't know where any of our shit comes from and who knows what comes of it (eating margarine?). Ahmet Fall: Do we develop for development or do we develop for people? Good question. We develop because we can, but no one is asking where we're going or why. "The African continent is full of rivers and dense forests. Look at the Senegal River!" So let Africa to itself. I am more and more feeling, among the educated folks, I shouldn't be here.
