http://pcbeth.blogspot.com/2011/05/same-country-new-city.html
B's Adventures in the World. Certains pensent qu'ils font un voyage. En fait, c'est le voyage qui nous fait." N. Bouvier. Samedi 21 mai 2011. Same Country, New City. Whoa, back in the Peace Corps already! Perhaps it's time for a post on what I am doing and where I am living back here in Senegal? So, about my job. I am working with Plan International. Is in charge of the financial literacy program development, while Peace Corps (me currently) is in charge of the life skills component. Quite the change fro...

This Senegalese Life: After the Sunset
http://thissenegaleselife.blogspot.com/2013/06/after-sunset.html
Saturday, June 22, 2013. It’s been almost two months since I left Senegal as a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer, and a final wrap-up post of some kind seems long overdue. And with having supportive friends and family back home. Many thanks all around! Now, after what was quite possibly the best vacation ever, I am in Conakry, Guinea, preparing to start a Peace Corps Response position. If you’re interested, my new Guinea-focused blog is called The Kankan Express ("kahn-kahn"). January 26, 2015 at 4:20 AM.

I Bless the Rains Down in Africa. 8220;Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? 8221; Mary Oliver. Monday, February 14, 2011. It's been a traumatic couple of days. If you haven't been, I highly recommend it. Not only is all of the food delicious, they sell PBRs at the bar and there is also live country music most nights. Next time, I'm bringing my cowboy boots and starting a line dance. Once dinner was finished, it was time to head back uptown where the remainder of Friday...

I Bless the Rains Down in Africa. 8220;Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? 8221; Mary Oliver. Wednesday, March 30, 2011. I have managed to find the internet and this makes me feel quite proud of myself. This will be a quick one as I don`t have much time and this french keyboard is really annoying. I just thought that I would share a funny story with all of you. Tuesday, March 22, 2011. It's been a hard days night. Monday, March 21, 2011. I've been asked by several peo...

This Senegalese Life: The True American Rainbow

Friday, April 19, 2013. The True American Rainbow. There is a television show called New Girl. And on that show they play a game called True American. The Peace Corps Volunteers of Kédougou have talked about playing the game in real life several times, imagining how we could add in our own rules, quotes, and trivia. Having already bade farewell to Digital Ben and the songwriter, phenologist, and re-birthed living legend Patrick Hair. The Crayola Fun Pack. At the Start of the Rainbow. Basically, playing t...

This Senegalese Life: October 2012
http://thissenegaleselife.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 22, 2012. Back in August my amazing grandmother (with lots of support from my equally amazing mother and family) decided to celebrate her birthday by hosting a lovely tea party to benefit the latrine-building project I’d proposed. She called it a Privy Party and it was a resounding success. She raised so much money that I was able to expand the project, increasing the number of latrines that we’ll be able to build. I can only hope that the latrines. Marielle and I walking; kids playing wi...

Thursday, April 18, 2013. Good Hair and New Friends. A couple weeks ago I got my hair braided for the first time. After my mom got her hair braided in during her visit Mariama Kesso decided that she would also braid my hair before I left. So the day finally came, I bought some meches. Extensions and she went to work. Once we were all coiffed and fancy we put on our complet. Outfits and headed out to introduce everyone to the Peace Corps Volunteer who'll be arriving in May to install in Salémata. As soon ...

B's Adventures in the World. Certains pensent qu'ils font un voyage. En fait, c'est le voyage qui nous fait." N. Bouvier. Dimanche 28 août 2011. So I wrote this post August 28, 2011 and it may or may not have actually gotten published on the blog, but for whatever reason, I can't find it. So here it is:. Here's an interesting article that came in my weekly Google Alert for Peace Corps: Peace Corps vs Posh Corps. What did the application process require for you? How was the housing situation? I mostly lov...
