Description: This interview deals with the partnership between the Collège (Middle School) of Ndiassane and the Association des Racines et des Hommes, a French humanitarian organization based in Vichy, France, with a branch in Senegal. The association’s founder Anna Tardiff describes in detail the history of the association’s partnership with Ndiassane and its contributions to the development of the Collège. In addition to the financial support for material improvements provided by the association, she initiated a partnership between the Collège and the Catholic school St. Benoît in Moulin, France, that entails sponsorship of individual students among other activities. This relationship even led to a visit by the bishop of Moulin in 2010 and a meeting with the khalif, an inter-religious encounter Ms. Tardiff found very moving. Mr. Ismaila Fall discusses his responsibilities as the coordinator of activities for the Senegalese branch of the Association des Racines et des Hommes and his work with Ndiassane. Mr. Fall and Ms. Tardiff both agree that the association’s relationship with Ndiassane is special and praise the smooth cooperation and the transparency that prevails in the conduct of activities. Interview in French conducted in Mbour by Daouda Faye; transcription in French by Gana Ndiaye.
