About this blog

Welcome to my blog from Peace Corps Guinea, West Africa. I am a Public Health volunteer in a very small village called Gbangbadou, near Kissidougou. I live in a tiny mud hut with no running water or electricity. I created this blog to give you a little insight to my day to day life, the frustrations and the rewards. Enjoy!
