A lot has happened in the last month, so much that it is hard to think about how fast life is moving for me now. For those of you who don't know, I was offered a job at the Harlem Success Charter Academy! Four days after I got back from Namibia, I headed up to NYC to interview for this job, after having a phone interview in Namibia the month before. I anxiously awaited to hear back from the

Dear Friends,My two year Peace Corps service in Namibia is soon coming to an end. I feel a huge sense of accomplishment mixed with a huge sense of loss approaching. It's a strange and scary feeling to be ending one part of my life, yet on the brink of the next stage of my life. However, I am hopeful the coming days and months will be filled with beautiful reunions and exciting transitions. The

Ok, so I swore up and down I would never wear an "African" dress, because clearly...well, I'm not African. However, I had an Owambo dress made and picked it up the same day I had prizegiving for MYO. I decided to wear it that evening, and everyone said, "Miss, you look beautiful!" Then they started laughing. I'm ok with that though :)

After 2 years of service, 80% of my Nam25 group finished out our contract! As the first group of people prepare to leave Namibia today, I thought I'd post this picture of all of us together one last time at our Close of Service conference back in September. All the best to my friends and colleagues!

So I'm riding my bike around Swakopmund, feeling the wind blow through my hair, and oops! a traffic officer flags me down because I'm breaking the bike helmet rule. I was lazy and didn't put it on.I pull over, and he immediately begins the safety lecture. I'm expecting him to respectfully let me go after a few minutes, but not to his delight. He tells me that in order for him to let me go

The pictures below are from a day trip my friends and I took back in June to a place called Spitzkoppe. This was when Gina was visiting me. For some reason my computer didn't want to post these photos, but alas, I have overcome.I'm sure you'll agree, Namibia is one beautiful country!

For the last 3 weeks, I've been in the schools everyday. I'm invigilitating these tests to grade 6 learners for all Southern African countries. The kids are tested in English, Maths, and HIV/AIDS. After the learners finish completing their HIV/AIDS questionaire, we go over the answers with them. Most of the schools I've been in, the kids at any age know the basics of HIV, how it is contracted

Below are a few pictures from our last official meeting for my group NAM 25. I don't have a group photo yet, but hopefully I'll get one soon.
