Professions in Notto
I am ready to do everything to advance the village.
I learned my skills in Mbour,
and I chose to come and establish myself here,
and to serve my village.
My hope is that people don't have to go into town
to satisfy certain needs.
It's hard to work here but it's necessary.
It's better than nothing.
I opted to work with ice
but it's hard, mostly because of transportation.
If we had electricity here, it would be much easier.
You can stay here for hours waiting for a vehicle.
Every beginning is difficult.
But with the help of God,
and over time
you will know if the job that you are doing
is to your advantage or not.
If you do a profession that does not serve you,
you will do something else.
For me, the profession of mason is a good one.
All I can say is that
it's good to do your profession in your own place
so that it serves you on your own soil.
Going to work somewhere else to serve other people
doesn't give anything back to people in your own community.
I wish everyone did what I'm doing!
I buy the ice at 50 or 75 Francs
and I pay 800 Francs for transportation.
Normally I re-sell the ice at 100 Francs
to earn a small profit.
It's working fine, since that's how were are surviving.
