Well, let’s call a spade a spade and admit that my blog officially died. It was never really alive and well, but since April 2010 I really did let it die. I’m not going to attempt to reinvigorate it–I think I’ve realized that I’m not the blogging type. However, for the sake of continuity, I will summarize the last 14 months in a paragraph before directing you to a website with a more specific purpose.
To put it simply, the last 14 months have been wonderful. Aside from the heat, Mango has been a very enjoyable place to live, and I’ve come to really love my friends here. I’ve continued to enjoy my work life, which has included radio shows related to education, educational talks with various youth groups, an extensive project related to hygiene in Mango’s primary schools, a training of a women’s group in a nearby village, and peer educator activities with students and apprentices in Mango. My main project for my remaining 5 months is a career development camp for girls in 9 villages of the Oti Prefecture. I won’t write much here because there is more information on my new blog, which I created exclusively to provide updates on Camp Etoiles du Nord. So, please visit the following website if you’d like to hear updates on what we’re up to here in Mango!

I’ll finish my service in November and will return to the States in December after a vacation with one of my Peace Corps friends. It’s truly amazing how quickly time seems to have passed!
