A postcard from Senegal

Postcard

Senegal is a country in western Africa. It owes its name to the Sénégal River that borders it to the east and north.

The back of the card reads “Jeunes circoncis”. Circumcision is an important moment in the life of the young Senegalese boy. This practice existed long before the arrival of Islam in Senegal.
