B's Adventures in the World. Certains pensent qu'ils font un voyage. En fait, c'est le voyage qui nous fait." N. Bouvier. Vendredi 5 octobre 2012. A la Prochaine, Cote d'Ivoire! I fly out of Cote d’Ivoire on Saturday night, but I’ll still be posting about my time here in the weeks to come (Inchallah) to talk a little about the work I did, as well as more reflections on the country and my practicum. Ok, maybe not the escargots, but at least I tried them). Zumba class, though it didn’t start until my...

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 17 avril 2011. Why do people blog abroad? Why do people blog abroad? On those lines, I haven't really updated in awhile because I haven't had any remarkable things to report, or like the post describes, I'm used to the culture and way of life here (HA! But, I am in Senegal and will be returning to America in early August to start my MSPH in Health Education and Health Communi...

B's Adventures in the World. Certains pensent qu'ils font un voyage. En fait, c'est le voyage qui nous fait." N. Bouvier. Vendredi 7 septembre 2012. Checking In on an Old Project. As you all probably have noticed, I can be a sporadic blog post-er. I start numerous entries but life, classes, or whatever result in never hitting the orange "publish" button. My time as a Peace Corps Response Volunteer last year was the same and in the end, I posted very few entries, and even fewer about my actual work. I am ...

B's Adventures in the World. Certains pensent qu'ils font un voyage. En fait, c'est le voyage qui nous fait." N. Bouvier. Lundi 29 octobre 2012. I have been back in Baltimore 3 weeks and back at work 2.5 weeks, and yet I'm still feeling so.far.behind. As you read in my last post. And regular life includes spending time with my godson, Connor Anthony, isn't he adorable? And now with Hurricane Sandy ripping through the East Coast, I am enjoying a hurrication and all that it entails, including trying to be ...

B's Adventures in the World. Certains pensent qu'ils font un voyage. En fait, c'est le voyage qui nous fait." N. Bouvier. Mardi 25 septembre 2012. A Traumatic Zoo Experience: The Toll of War. Last weekend I visited a zoo that might be one of the worst in the world that can still be considered functioning. This was not the failing but charming family zoo from. We Bought a Zoo. A few gazelles, a hippo, an elephant, and some small rodent-like things called biches. Which are actually miniature deer. Feed...

B's Adventures in the World: Publicity Stunts in the Name of Malaria Prevention
http://pcbeth.blogspot.com/2012/09/publicity-stunts-in-name-of-malaria.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. Mercredi 19 septembre 2012. Publicity Stunts in the Name of Malaria Prevention. Last weekend I participated in an awkward publicity stunt for lack of a better word. I feel awkward even publishing this as so many coworkers, partners, and others worked so hard to make it happen, but it also highlights certain strong feelings I have about development, aid, celebrity, and the like. Dresse...

B's Adventures in the World. Certains pensent qu'ils font un voyage. En fait, c'est le voyage qui nous fait." N. Bouvier. Vendredi 1 juillet 2011. The day things changed in Senegal. Things are calm and the curfew has been lifted, but obviously there are still tensions as the country waits for the President and the government to make the next step. Peace Corps and the US Embassy continue to do a great job keeping us safe and informed on what is going on. Inscription à : Articles (Atom). My Plan Buddy Lisa.

B's Adventures in the World. Certains pensent qu'ils font un voyage. En fait, c'est le voyage qui nous fait." N. Bouvier. Mercredi 19 septembre 2012. The Life of a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer. I wanted to link to another RPCV friend's blog because I feel that she perfectly describes the awkward and difficult life of being trapped between multiple worlds, moving on with your life, while still remaining connected to the pulse of life in the village and everyone you love there. 20 septembre 2012 à 22:22.
