Hi BGOP,
I am a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer in Fatick, Senegal. I was just introduced to Mbaye Fall, the Senegalese blacksmith who participated in your Folkslife Festival in 2007.
Mr. Fall asked me to get in touch with BGOP and serve as his translator. Is there an email address to which I could send a letter? I intend on sending one by post, as well.
Next week, I plan on visitng Mr. Fall at his workshop and will take some photos to send to you.
Best regards,
Laura Blumenthal
