Grant and Dara

Our first service visit was about an hour and a half drive outside of Dakar into a completely remote village setting. Gorom is the location of a YWAM project that involves construction of a new medical dispensary, a micro-agriculture operation, and perpetual relationship building with the local villages. Service in Gorom means helping with the construction, gardening, feeding chickens, and cooking meals.

Set next to a cashew grove, Dara and Grant are learning to eat the cashew's apple- like fruit, as well as the raw nuts. Their love of the culture and countryside is impossible to miss and evident in the photos we took. There is plenty of time for reflection in the evenings. Grant says that SST is filled with "...moments that push you beyond what you know into what you must figure out."
