Purpose

I started this blog with the intention of sharing my Peace Corps experience with everyone. For those unfamiliar with Peace Corps here is an explanation.

The Peace Corps traces its roots and mission to 1960, when then Senator John F. Kennedy challenged students at the University of Michigan to serve their country in the cause of peace by living and working in developing countries. From that inspiration grew an agency of the federal government devoted to world peace and friendship.

Since that time, more than 190,000 Peace Corps Volunteers have been invited by 139 host countries to work on issues ranging from AIDS education to information technology and environmental preservation.

Today’s Peace Corps is more vital than ever, working in emerging and essential areas such as information technology and business development, and committing more than 1,000 new Volunteers as a part of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. Peace Corps Volunteers continue to help countless individuals who want to build a better life for themselves, their children, and their communities.”

I also will use this blog as a means of personal development. Writing is a passion of mine and to share it with the world is a great luxury.

  4. Are you still in Morocco? I was there a few years back. I know you’re coming close to the end of your session, and had to leave early. Are Ameena and Abdelghani still working there?

  5. Hi there, I am an RPCV Senegal (07-09) and am putting together a research proposal for Arabic language study and ecological/agricultural research in Morocco. Are you currently there? Is there any way you could write back to me and give me some information on where you work and what you’re working on? Thank you,
