It is amazing! and very informative. I have been toying with the idea of joining the peace corps after early retirement (in 2 years). If I read correctly you are from Oregon. I grew up in Oregon and would love to talk to you about the peace corps and your work in Niger. I live in Germany and will be visiting Family in July (in Lebanon) if you have any spare time?<br />DaveDave Braunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709799209861886759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5359813946101753820.post-73667504964952797422009-10-01T21:14:54.877-07:002009-10-01T21:14:54.877-07:00Hello Bug, and I do think these feelings are overw...Hello Bug, and I do think these feelings are overwhelming...I feel them along with her, and I'm thousands of miles away. I can't read all of this without tears of my own.<br /><br />Beth, you are true-blue. I would like to know more about what you are studying, and about the Gender class you are teaching.<br /><br />Thank you Leora. Your comments are so very much appreciated. I don't know what J will decide to do with this blog in the future, after she comes back, but I am delighted to hear that you found it of value now.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281288495129054688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5359813946101753820.post-34037005154440614942009-10-01T15:39:47.232-07:002009-10-01T15:39:47.232-07:00Hi there.

I've only been to Africa twice on short trips, and nowhere near Niger, but some of the stories she shares are universal, aren't they? <br />Jessica, you sound like you are learning so much from the remarkable women in the village, and dealing really well with finding your place in a completely different culture. I am going to forward your blog to my teenage daughters as an inspiration.<br />Best of luck! <br />Leora, Toronto, CanadaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5359813946101753820.post-7208082140966451052009-09-28T13:03:00.985-07:002009-09-28T13:03:00.985-07:00Kerry is right Jessica.
