The End . . . for Now | Musings from Rural Nigeria
https://kimkennett.wordpress.com/2011/09/21/the-end-for-now
Musings from Rural Nigeria. Kim's Year With CUSO-VSO. The End . . . for Now. After much soul-searching and introspection, I have decided not to return to Nigeria, at least not at this time. I was offered a six-month position as Communications Advisor with an HIV/AIDS organization in Lagos beginning in October, but given all that went on while I was there, I just don’t have the heart to go back right now. I did care about the work I was involved in and the people who would benefit, but then again, I can.
