Purpose of My Blog

"A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step." -Lao Tzu, founder of Taoism

And so I clicked "Submit" on my Peace Corps application.



Since the early 1990s, many Peace Corps volunteers have used blogging as a way of communicating their thoughts through a series of photos and or texts.  This blog captures my personal experiences as a Peace Corps volunteer in Zambia.  My goal is to create a dialogue between my host country, Zambia, and America in order to promote two of the three goals of Peace Corps:

Helping promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the peoples served.
Helping promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans.

I hope that we all will contribute to a more connected and vibrant world.
