Dumelang!
Welcome to the Himalayas Botswana!
Hello everyone. Condensing all of this now that I am six months into being here (My goodness gracious I was bored when I made this wasn’t I?). You can still find the Blog and pictures in the top right. Happy holidays everyone!

Things ya should really know
Who: Me! Plus 18 other people in my cohort. Several people have left, several more arrived, and now we are 19 total.
Where: I am posted in a small town in the Okavango region of Botswana. The Okavango (Oka-Vahn-goo) is a river delta that runs into the desert and seeps back into the earth. The Okavango is in the North-West part of the country, exactly opposite from the capital city; really close to Namibia.
When: To Bots at the beginning of July, and to my site at the end of September. The actual two years starts then, so my service ends in September 2026. Nearing month 11 in country and 8 in my site.
Why? I get asked this a lot, especially during trainings and by random Batswana. My general answer is that I want to directly help others and make a real difference while working abroad/traveling. Peace Corps ended up being the perfect avenue for that.
