- Description
Broadcast on Manawatu People's Radio, 27th August 2024. Part 4 of 5. Went to The Gambia by herself. Very naïve. Couldn’t understand French and had no plans. A person she met at the airport found accommodation for her. Travelled to the capital, Banjul. Very primitive. People lived in compounds. Food at markets very expensive. Living conditions were very difficult. Couldn’t get visa extended. Went to Paris then to London. After three years returned to New Zealand. Suffered from chronic depression. Worked at Victoria University library
