Marc Walton is a US Peace Corps Volunteer currently working in The Gambia – near the capital of Banjul. He has been there since July 2008 and his volunteer work means he has a unique insight into the everday life of The Gambia, and he has taken some genuinely extraordinary pictures in his time there, some of which he has kindly agreed for us to show here.
Marc travelled out to Sere Samba, 3 hours or so south west of Banjul where he spent 3 months living with a family and learning Wolof, the local language. He’s currently stationed in the Kombo area, near Banjul – where he works on various projects such as improving telecommunications. Please visit his blog for more photographs and to keep up to date with his progress.
