    You are so hardcore. I would never go into a building where the roof has collapsed, but you do it to show people the reality of the most vulnerable. I’m praying the people that live in those buildings are not harmed! Respect to Biggie for helping his neighbor and not being too scared to put himself in their situation. Be safe, Biggie!

I’m hoping to travel there to see them one day. I can’t wait to see what happens next and next payday, I’ll help out with the project going on with your guide. So great to see you back. ❤️

    As a Senegalese I would like to say thank you for showing my country, and most importantly showing both sides of life in Dakar, which is one of Africa's most expensive capital cities. I've been following your channel since that Haiti video in December 2022, showing the rough parts, things the traditional news channel won't show you. Big shoutout to Biggy, he has been an excellent guide. There's of course an explanation to why you have all these disparities in many hoods in Dakar. It has mostly to do with a lack of urban planning, some people build their houses in areas that are prone to flooding, while the government doesn't take enough actions to organize everything; add to that poverty, inflation, and social dynamics. Thus you have abandoned houses etc. The ghetto you visited is called Diamaguene located in Pikine while the nice neighbourhood is Fann Residence. We have one of the best weathers, only problem is the dust, due to the harmattan winds; expensive city but hopefully in 3 to 4 years it'll change. Cheers !!!

    It's always good to see you alive and well!
    For the big holes in that house's roof, a decent temporary fix would be to get some waterproof tarps and long poles. Each tarp covers a hole, and the pole pushes the tarp center up to form a cone. Then, the rain can be controlled and gathered in buckets or diverted along a trough to get it down to street level. The rubble can be used to make check dams (small rock dams which slow water down and spread it out, limiting its force). Many of those damages seem water related already, so controlling the flow of water through the buildings is especially important!
