Summary

[edit]
Description
Français : Le village d'Iwol, où cette photo a été prise, se trouve au sommet d'une colline. Les femmes sont chargées d'aller chercher toute l'eau nécessaire au village, tous les jours, au pied de la colline et de la transporter dans un récipient (~15lt) placé sur leur tête. C'est aussi elles qui pilent le mil. Cela explique leur constitution physique qui est tout simplement magnifique et admirable. Les Bédik sont une population d'Afrique de l'Ouest vivant principalement dans le sud-est du Sénégal, dans l'arrondissement de Bandafassi, à proximité de la frontière avec la Guinée. Ils constituent l'une des plus petites minorités (1 % environ de la population). Contrairement à la plus grande partie du Sénégal, le pays bédik se trouve en altitude.
English: The village of Iwol, where this photo was taken, sits on top of a hill. The women are responsible for fetching all the water needed by the village, every day, at the foot of the hill and carrying it in a container (~15lt) placed on their heads. They are also the ones who pound the millet. This explains their physical constitution which is simply magnificent and admirable. The Bédik are a West African population living mainly in the south-east of Senegal, in the district of Bandafassi, near the border with Guinea. They constitute one of the smallest minorities (around 1% of the population). Unlike most of Senegal, the Bédik country is located at altitude.
