I think she plays a Kora-like harp... similar to the one I brought back from The Gambia!

Hello there my friend! I worked with a doctor in July who had been out to visit your school earlier this year and will work there in the future I believe-we must catch up some day! So proud of you, look where you are now! We have come a long way from Gambia days-would love to catch up, I'm in my last year at Harvard now. Just wanted to say hi, I love your blog-libbyschaefer@gmail.com
