Outside of the classroom, Amee and I have been attending church choir practice 3 nights a week where we have sung in French, Wolof, Spanish, Latin and Serer! We sing at Saturday evening services and this weekend past I sang and Amee accompanied the choir at the Tamharite festival (Islamic New Year).
