How many of you who are going to be doctors are willing to spend your days in Ghana? Technicians or engineers, how any of you are willing to work in the Foreign Service and spend your lives traveling around the world? On your willingness to do that, not merely to serve one year or two years in the service, but on your willingness to contribute part of your life o this country, I think will depend the answer whether a free society can complete. I think it can! And I think Americans are willing to contribute. But the effort must be far greater than we have ever made in the past.

Thanksgiving!

I love Peace Corps life, but the worst thing is not being able to see my family.  This is especially true during the holidays. Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday in America (no fluff Christmas, plus football! what's better than that?), was celebrated with a Senegalese twist this year with my new family in Kolda. We even got a turkey! (Please try to understand how amazing this is.)

 Yours truly even worked in the kitchen for a while.

Oh yeah, and it might have been Hobbit themed.

Group Thanks.
