Millet Harvest at Bolo

In rural Senegal, Millet is the most consumed cereal. Today is the first day of the Muslim year. Happy new year!!! A delicious meal is prepared for this celebration based on millet. We make couscous (Senegalese) out of millet and prepared a sauce with different flavors depending on the family tradition and preferences. I enjoyed the special couscous for the muslim year-end yesterday night. We feel blessed with the extreme kindness and hospitality of the community and family around. Bolo is expanding rapidly thanks to the local network. Namaste
