"It's so tragic, I can hardly believe it. It's just sickening that in Mozambique, car accidents kill more people than AIDS and malaria combined. I am grateful to have made it home safely, and almost feel guilty that this happened to the young woman that was going to replace me, that she was robbed of that experience and the innumerable others that happen throughout a lifetime. I ask that you keep these volunteers and their families in your thoughts and/or prayers."

Thank God I'm Home.
There was a terrible chapa (mini-bus) accident in Gaza province yesterday that injured three volunteers and killed two others. One of the volunteers that died was going to fill my position teaching biology in the Chimundo secondary school.
It's so tragic, I can hardly believe it. It's just sickening that in Mozambique, car accidents kill more people than AIDS and malaria combined. I am grateful to have made it home safely, and almost feel guilty that this happened to the young woman that was going to replace me, that she was robbed of that experience and the innumerable others that happen throughout a lifetime. I ask that you keep these volunteers and their families in your thoughts and/or prayers.
Much love, and happy holidays.

Peace Corps Online The Independent News Forum serving Returned Peace Corps Volunteers
| Peace Corps: The Next Fifty Years As we move into the Peace Corps' second fifty years, what single improvement would most benefit the mission of the Peace Corps? Read our op-ed about the creation of a private charitable non-profit corporation, independent of the US government, whose focus would be to provide support and funding for third goal activities. Returned Volunteers need President Obama to support the enabling legislation, already written and vetted, to create the Peace Corps Foundation. RPCVs will do the rest. |
