Ngapi Sarah, This is an amazing Blogg. I was a PCV in Mpungu back in 97-99, Group 11, just before Patrick's group. It's hard to believe that nearly 10 years have gone by since I hiked the road to Nkurenkuru and onto Mpungu. I have such great memories of sitting outside of the Cola-Cola (is it still there) in the dust along the road waiting for a ride back.
I was recently visiting a Peace Corps friend of mine in DC, and he mentioned your Blogg. I had to see what it was all about. This morning I started reading your adventures from the beginning. I have only gotten to march of 2008. It has been a lot like living the experience all over again. I didn't know that PC started sending volunteers back to the Kavongo. The week after I COS'd all PCV's were evacuated from the Kavongo. It is great to hear that you are getting a chance to live out there. It is like no other place in the world.
I have to admit I was choked up reading every line. I had to laugh at how things are so much the same. It is unbelievabke how much you have done, and how you have expressed it all. I hope to get back there soon. How much time do you have left? I am going to keep on reading. I would love to hear more about how things are going.
How is the bike project going? There is a big organization here in Chicago that ships bikes all over the world (http://workingbikes.org/). Keep in touch. tmedintz@yahoo.com.
