RE: On the Pepper Coast

Here music has a way of possessing dancers – almost as if a set of sonic strings tug limbs every which way.

Beautiful description that reminds me of seeing The Garcia Project recently. The music did the dancing for me!

As I entered the event hall with my admission ticket I was directed on stage for a chair

Hah! You were placed on stage like a dignitary.

Lastly we helped them sew Reusable Menstrual Pads (RUMPS) from Lappa and plastic water bags.

Wow! Another option could be the menstrual cup, although that may be more difficult to DIY manufacture. I known @hirschey (our mom) saw a PSA for menstrual cups at a bar last time she visited you on another continent.

I am loving the upbeat music and jolty dancing here - but will always miss the perpetual grooves.

It does feel that way.

Yes, they are needed all over this little blue sphere! I spoke with some female volunteers and a few used the Diva Cup back in the states but left them there. Most West African volunteers use RUMPS as they are the lowest resource.
