"hi, my name is joe & i work in a button factory..."

oct 10, 2008

do you remember those summer nights cooking s'mores around the campfire? singing silly songs and bonding w/ a group of people you just met...that awkward tween phase when you weren't exactly sure of who you were...those adolescent summer loves...well, peace corps ghana is like the funnest summer camp ever! my group is comprised of 42 americans from hawaii to nebraska to ecuador (she is a u.s. citizen...lol). there are 4 married couples; for one 50+ couple, this will be their 3rd time serving in the peace corps (once separately, and twice together)! a collection of incredibly unique individuals from very diverse backgrounds gathered together for the greater good. so as we sit around laughing, drinking, and sharing stories...i can't help but smile and think about how lucky i am...
