Last year we had “Dorm Survivor Day” on May 1 (a holiday in Niger, so no school).This year we changed things a bit —  two dorm teams competed in the Amazing Race: Niamey 2013!

I will let the pictures speak for themselves, but the challenges were:

1) Three Sisters mountain climb (team tied together as they climb the mountains looking for clues), 2) Market Mania (team had to buy certain items with only a little cash), 3) Ameoba (one team throws water balloons to the other team tied together), 4) An all-out city photo scavenger hunt – even “uncle Andy” was hiding!, and 5) Water challenges at the Gaweye Hotel pool! I’ll let you know who “WON” at the end of this post…(can you feel the suspense?) Enjoy!

And the winner is…… Team S.W.A.G. (stands for something I honestly can’t recall!) by a slim margin over the Villagers!
