Goree Island today retains the same colorful buildings and cobblestone streets from long ago. They have made efforts to preserve the historical island. Now it is home to a boarding school for girls named after Mariama Ba, a famous Senegalese author and feminist.The girls with the highest scores in each of the 14 regions of the country get chosen to attend this elite school where their expenses are paid. It is also a place for artists to share their talents and creativity. There is a beach area and a few restaurants too and many people visit to enjoy the small island.
