Learning Environment

This is the market in Forecariah which is open every day until around 5ish. We head here during our lunch break to buy food, snacks, laundry soap, fabric, tailoring services, etc. We also have a business (mine is a pharmacy) in this area that we visit to study and ask questions.


































































Our business advising classes are in an opening under some big mango trees. There are no walls, no air conditioning. Some of the distractions include children shouting Fote!, dogs with fairly eaten up ears, hens kicking dirt and leaves to find food for their chicks in tow, a child nearby with an electronic toy (a strange sight in Guinea), motorcycles roaring by, etc. It's different. Not a bad place though because there is shade. Our language class is at a friend of our instructor's house. We just sit in plastic chairs with flip chart paper taped to a wall in front of us.
