You and the Sun. A Rough and Dirty Life in Peace Corps Benin. Tuesday, June 9, 2009. Rain on a tin roof makes a very loud noise. Rainy season is finally here again, just as the mangos have started to dwindle. Everything grows so fast here- I went down to Cotonou for a week-long workshop and when I came back all the previously brown and dying shrubs had somehow been replaced by thriving, green,. It was like the whole landscape changed overnight, like it took a really great (non-bucket) shower. I am curren...

Michelle Explains It All. Friday, May 7, 2010. Class in a paillote. It's got a great breeze! No powerpoints here. it looks like a chalkboard, but it's really some plywood painted black. Workin' on a wordsearch (that i made up myself). Not everyone likes to work together. Next to a cornfield. Building to the right is what my predecessor built. the building in the back is where the other 5eme classes are. My bad ass bike. Rosie hiding in my closet. I made this. mmmm, it was real good! My fellow PCV's blogs.

You and the Sun: July 2009

You and the Sun. A Rough and Dirty Life in Peace Corps Benin. Thursday, July 16, 2009. Yoga, sex, and an ambulance. What happens when you put sixty Beninese (teenage) girls, seven Peace Corps volunteers, and matching t-shirts all together in a semi-cramped yet wonderfully available tissage center? That's right: one full week of group discussions, defining objectives, sports (think: dodgeball! Learning computer skills, talking about sex, games, and camp songs sung at ear-piercing levels in French. This bl...

You and the Sun. A Rough and Dirty Life in Peace Corps Benin. Monday, September 22, 2008. Excuse me as I make myself into a liar. Well, a surprise meeting in Nattitangou (the nearest big "city") has led me to the world wide net so.hello again! Wake up at 7 am (or earlier if I hear the call to prayer around 6), boil water for drinking and for oatmeal, eat and get dressed. Did you wake up well? How is the morning/afternoon/evening/night? How are the children? How is your house? How is your work? And I move...
