From the Land of the Free to the Land of the Upright People. Tuesday, March 24, 2009. The Only Thing Sustainable Here is Cynicism. And Overactive Sweat Glands.

From the Land of the Free to the Land of the Upright People. Friday, July 17, 2009. Ça fait deux jours! These are girls who are busy all day washing clothes and dishes, going into the fields to help their families farm, cooking- and yet they are voluntarily taking time out of their days to spend with each other and learn. And what is even more surprising is they come early! So, Ghana was great. In many, many ways. I spent nearly two weeks in Ghana with a group of fellow Burkina PCVs. We were even thrille...

As rainy season teases us with its brief winds and rains during a sweltering heat, I have seen many a sacrifice (oftentimes, it is because the sacrifice will HAVE to take place on a specific rock that sits right outside my house). In case you want to do this at home, here's how it goes:. Where the sacrifice was done. The chicken is then eaten and the family gets some much needed prot...

From the Land of the Free to the Land of the Upright People. Wednesday, November 18, 2009. I'm a Terrible Peace Corps Blogger. It’s been really hard to sit down and write a proper email or blog these past, how many, 4 or 5 months now? Sometimes it was because I was feeling too lousy or useless, other times it was because I was too preoccupied enjoying life. Rainy season is just coming to a close.
