| Gathering wood
for fires for traditional cooking is part of the work
of many women in regions of Senegal where agriculture
and fishing are the primary economic activities. Sometimes
women must walk several miles to reach an area where firewood
can be gathered, then carried home and stored. Women usually
walk in groups. Often when Djibril was walking home from
his field, he would see one of these small groups and,
out of respect, offer to help carry their load as far
as they were travelling.
