Goree Island is home to Senegal's history within the trans-atlantic slave trade and the house of slaves is one of the major attractions on the Island. It is popularly called Maison des Esclaves. This is a monumental African structure and forms part of Africa's slave history. 'Door of No return' which every man, woman and child walked to the slave boat, catching a last glimpse of their homeland and shipped to Europe and other parts of the world. Definitely an eye opening experience to man's inhumanity to his fellow man. Aside from the island’s memorials, you can find unique paintings, carvings and sculptures by many resident artists. Painters and artisans set up their ways in the open air, and you’ll find an assortment of jewellery, masks, baskets, textiles and other treasures on the south side of the island at the marché artisanal. #csc #ibmcsc #ibm #cscsen5 #cscsenegal5 #mimsinsenegal (at Gorée, Dakar, Senegal) https://www.instagram.com/p/BphTNNQhGKv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hlraa3u7frkj

Allez les lions! We came to support Senegal and they won the match with Sudan 3-0! It was amazing and unforgettable. The atmosphere in the stadium was surreal and that’s the kind of experience you’d want to have when you watch the match live in the stadium 😄 Thanks to Tidiane who managed to get us the tickets with the best seat ! @pyxeraglobal #csc #ibmcsc #ibm #cscsen5 #cscsenegal5 #mimsinsenegal (at Stade Léopold Sédar Senghor) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpfmyw-BeeQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=thegdrer6uj4

My first pottery class with this humble and wonderful guy. Even though he is deaf, we managed to make a piece together and it turned out pretty well 😬 . It was a good experience and definitely gonna try it again! We were also treated to a traditional dish called ‘Chebu Jen’ which was made from fish, rice and tomato sauce. And lastly, our picture with the whole group from IBM CSC and APHO ❤ #csc #ibmcsc #ibm #cscsen5 #cscsenegal5 #mimsinsenegal https://www.instagram.com/p/BpQSgytBaf6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1p552brrvzecz

As part of the CSC experience, we have given an opportunity to participate in an activity that will help support the community. We were able to visit l’Association pour la Promotion des Handicapés de Ouakam (APHO) which translates to the Association for the Promotion of Handicapped People of Ouakam. The APHO was created in year 1998 by a group of handicapped persons from Oukam. It aims to be a favourable environment for solving problems related to their education, training and integration into working life. APHO is born from the will of people with disabilities, who are convinced of their ability to contribute positively to the socio-economic development of Senegal through productive and income-generating activities (entrepreneurship) and training. #ibm #ibmcsc #cscsen5 #cscsenegal5 #mimsinsenegal https://www.instagram.com/p/BpQNt3VhZ0X/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=110xiua56wxqs

Senegal is amazingly rich visually with all the bright colours, beautiful people, and rugged landscape. Had a tour of Dakar City with the team where we went to local market, got to see Baobab tree and last stop was Le Monument de la Renaissance Africaine (African Renaissance Monument). #ibm #cscsen5 #ibmcsc #cscsenegal5 #mimsinsenegal (at Dakar, Senegal) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo-HTyYB2Rd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9tpwgt560fpy
