The following story is an account of a 13 member team that visited Catel, Guinea-Bissau in mid-February 2011. Pearl is a fictional character, but her experiences, observations, and insights are a factual compilation of the experiences of all 13 team members. The names of other characters are their true names. It was simply easier to tell the story by combining the team members into one instead of introducing 13 different characters.
