The contents of this blog do not reflect the opinions of the US government or Peace Corps.
Because of that it should be kind of fun to read.

Jessica began her Peace Corps experience in January of 2008. She is in the west African country of Niger, which is a pretty isolated part of the world. She has little access to computers, and the mail is slow. I (the MOM) blog her letters and occasional emails, and try to keep my voice out of it.

5/11/09 Postage to Niger: .98 for a 1 oz letter (4 pages)
Back home in the USA. No more mail to Jessica in Niger.
This photo was taken at the Peace Corps swearing-in ceremony, March 15, 2008, US ambassador's grounds, Niamey. Yes, there are some guys, just not in this picture. That's the Niger River in the background. Photo is courtesy of PCV Jody K.
Thank you for posting the picture. This is the first we have seen of Jennifer since their arrival. They all have a devilish smile, I wonder if they were conspiring to “show a little leg”

This picture makes me happy! She looks great in that dress and was glad to "see" her again. xo Mame

Indeed!! We thought the same. And it is our first view of Jessica, also.
