There is a tradition among Peace Corps volunteers of touring houses of worship soon after installing at site.

"There's a turkey here that hates me!" says Eve Breckenridge, an Agriculture Volunteer serving in the central highlands of Madagascar. 

For many of the people in my community in rural Madagascar, I am the first African-Dominican they have met.

The community would have been satisfied with fresh bread, but that was before Tropical Cyclone Enawo hit Madagascar’s east coast in March 2017.

Few things are more particular to time and place than the fruits we eat, especially when living without paved roads or refrigerators. 

If you were to line up the Peace Corps Volunteers living in northern Madagascar, what would you see? 

Mother nature and I have been playing a game.

Anyone hoping for an expenses-paid vacation to Senegal would have been disappointed, but for Health Volunteer Anna Lehmann, the Malaria Bootcamp in Dakar was a chance to geek-out with other Volunteers serving across the African continent.  

“Omeo lychee ai!”

“Give me lychees.”
