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.
Current projects

Community classroom

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.
Here is the headmaster, Shaibou, giving a lecture on dental hygiene to a primary school class. We handed out toothbrushes, courtesy of my generous dentist in Corvallis, to over 200 village students.
Shaibou insisted that the students raise their new brushes into the air for the photo-hence the salute. We salute you, Dr. Kendall Wood! Thank you!
