    Young lady, it looks like you’re living the life in The Gambia. Do you ever wonder how drastically different things would be if you were still in the U. S.? May the Creator continue to bless you and your family.

    Your story reminds me of when I left Miami and moved back home to the US Virgin Islands with my children including my 15 year old daughter and her cousin (who you happen to look like by the way lol) . At 1st they hated it, it took them a while to adjust but now my daughter is in love with my island. She is a local artist and is so popular here.... I have to share this with her :)

    Your parents are amazing. I love their vision and working hard everyday in Africa is not easy. But they get it done. I hope their community continues to grow and support them. And Rickyta your vlogs, edits and narrative style makes me feel like longing for something much more. Nice work!

    Your videos have been so helpful as i prepare for my month long stay in The Gambia in July. So you have any suggestion on shots to get prior to tracking there? I don't typically like getting vaccinations, but i would like to be a safe as possible.
