Country of Service: Kenya

Training Group: Deaf Education

Cities you served in: Machakos

Arrival Year: 2003

Departure Year: 2004

Work Description:

I would have spent the two years teaching the deaf and helping their teachers to sign better in the children's natural sign language (Kenyan Sign).

Bring us up to date on your life after the peace corps:

Currently enrolled in an MFA in Creative Writing at Goddard College. Went back to a independent volunteer job in South India helping stray dogs after I got wrongfully separated by the Peace Corps.

Any thoughts you have now looking back on peace corps days?:

I want to help women who decide to join Peace Corps to know what they are really getting into. Peace Corps is a good idea, but the government looks after itself before its volunteers - always.

Anyone you are looking for or would like to hear from?:

Other wrongfully Separated Peace Corps Volunteers.
