I am looking for any RCPV's who served in Mauritania from 1980-1982. This summer (2005) will be our 25th anniversary. I am thinking a reunion is in order! Please contact me @lisajeanh4@excite.com if you see this!

Asalam Aleykum,
My name is Pascal ADVENIER, I was serving in Selibaby between 1995/1997 in a french NGO (AFVP).
I'm looking for contacts for John O'LEARY who served there during the same period, as well as Andy RICHARDSON and Lisa THOMPSON. The last address I have were New Mexico and Minesota, but I don't think they're living there anymore.
Any hint would be welcome, merci.
Hi to the others who may remember me.
Pascal

I’m starting a website, it’s a Yahoo Group, for people who want to speak or learn Soninke. It’s at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/soninke/ .

I learned Soninke several years ago while training to become a Peace Corps Volunteer in Mauritania. (I decided not to become a volunteer, and never swore in, but I spent several months training there and living with a Soninke family.)

I’ve put up a list of Soninke/English vocabulary, a few phrases, and some proverbs. I’m hoping to add more about pronunciation and grammar, as well as photos. If you have anything you’d like to add please let me know. Also please feel free to invite anyone else you think might be interested to join the group.

Hi all,
I am a Mauritanian who live and work here in the US. I just want to thank all of you for all you have done to my people, villages, and country from awareness, knowledge, and bringing another positive dimension to their thought process. You really have done a fantastic job!

Finally, do not think ever that that weak poor Mauritanian woman with limited resources will ever forget you.

Again, thank you on behalf of all those you have helped in a way or another.

Shoukran Jezeelan! Jere Jef Yew! Merci Beaucoup!

Truly Yours,

Ould Vadel

I hope that I am wrong, and it does not concern the same person mentioned here.

Yesterday evening (May, 4th), Rebecca Bridgeman was killed in a car crash on a road from Kyrgyzstan back to Almaty, where she was serving as a Deputy Controller of the USAID/CAR Mission. I know that she was serving at one time as the Peace Corps volunteer, and that she was about 40, and had two daughters, 8 and 7...

Sorry to bring the news...

1994 Mauritania. Hi, I would like to thank the PCV that helped me cross the border to Keyes, Mali. Perhaps it was Diane Cummings based at Baediam? Many thanks. I am on Facebook & Messenger. Steve Marsh, New Zealand.
