PEACE CORPS VOLUNTEERS IN-SERVICE TRAINING

       











I had the opportunity to once again travel with PC staff to a facility near Polokwane in the Limpopo province, this time to present to 28 volunteers and their counterparts about my NGO, in order for them to decide if they would like to use our program as a side project at their site.  I did five 90-minute presentations.  It was very fun and fulfilling.

I so enjoyed seeing Gilbert again, with whom I spent about two weeks when I was doing research, and to meet many great new Volunteers and other NGO people


Also had the opportunity to observe monkeys close up and personal.  They hover around the lodge, and very bravely hop on to outside tables and take food from diner's plates!  Here's one chomping on an apple, with a rusk (kind of like biscotti) in the other hand.  Entertaining!
