THINK GLOBALLY, ACT LOCALLY
It's finally taken me another international trip to continue and finish my thoughts on my International Field Experience this spring. The next few blog posts will be my reflections on my trip. On April 18, 2018, we arrived as a group in Dakar, Senegal, but didn’t get checked into the hotel until a little after 7pm. It was a long day of travel, but after a nice meal, a good night’s rest, and some coffee the next morning, I was ready to begin my day of adventure. After our required sessions of the Senegalese Education System and teacher training, we were off to see Le Monument de la Renaissance. This monument is nothing like I’ve ever seen. We arrived about 30 minutes after the museum and tours were closed, but we were able to tour the museum inside and then we were able to take the elevator to the top of the monument and was able to look over the city of Dakar. The architect was Senegalese, but the statue was built and brought over by the North Koreans.
