A man in Senegal(塞内加尔）is trying to prove he can build and sell drones(无人机） in his home country.
Mamadou Diop has experience working with drones in the photography and health industries.Diop,called Dr.Drone on social media,is also one of the few people in Senegal who can repair drones.
But recently,he decided to take his knowledge of drones a step further.He is trying to build a drone made entirely in Senegal.Dion's goal is to use local materials and skilled Workers in Senegal to make the drones.He wants to prove that it is possible to make the technology in his home country.Diop says he has been able to communicate with other drone makers in France and China through the Internet.He has learned about their experiences to help him with his home-grown drone project.Diop plans to build his first locally-produced drone for use in the health industry.The drone will be designed to spread chemicals to prevent serious diseases.
However,not all of the necessary materials are available(可获得的）right now.One of the materials needed for Diop's drone is a carbon fiber that is not available in Senegal.He says he bought the material from China,and worked with local workers to shape the pieces for his drone.He got aluminum from a broken fridge to form part of the body for his drone.
Manadou Diallow is the owner of a photography shop who often uses Diop's drone services and supports his efforts to create the first"Made in Senegal"drone."There is not a large market for drones in Senegal right now,but need for the flyers is rising,"says Diallow.Diop welcomes the help,saying it is important to start making drones locallybefore foreign companies come in and sell them at much higher prices.

One day,I was taking a nap in my office when I woke up to the sound of a car crash.I sat up and looked out of the window.In the parking lot,a car had just crashed into a fence.The car must have been moving fast,because it was in bad shape.
Then I watched as the driver got out of the car.He wore loose trousers and a crumpled(褶皱的）shirt unbuttoned to show his chest hair.Immediately,I disliked him.
Then,he opened the passenger door,from which a very small child ran out.A kid in the front seat!My dislike for the man increased greatly.
As the child ran around in the parking lot,the man tried to repair the damage.He tried to pull the ruined fence back into place,but it wouldn't move.I looked out of the window,silently cheering.The man tried harder.However,suddenly,the man fell hard onto the ground with one of his shoes landing 10 feet away on the sidewalk.I think I laughed out loudly.That almost brightened my whole morning.He stood up and walked slowly to a nearby apartment.That,I thought,would be the end of it.The man was going to leave the mess behind for someone else to clean up.
However,a few minutes later the man appeared with some tools and for the next hour, I watched out of my window as he stubbornly fixed the fence.Now the fence would be extra secure,stronger than before.That man was actually a hero.My ugly assumptions(设想），I realized,were all about myself.I would never have fixed that fence and run away.
Years later I still look out of my window at the fence almost every day.It makes me wonder what else that man has improved and how I can make myself more like him.
