Once a Peace Corps Volunteer Always a PCV

Today I introduced Father Henry, Pat and Lauren to the Peace Corps. It was an emotional experience for me to walk through the gates of the compound. We met with the Country director, Ken Puvek and the Education Program Manger, Enos Radeny with hopes of developing some synergy between their two Kenyan education missions. I hung out for a while in the “Resource Center” with an IT volunteer who shared his trials and tribulations of his Peace Corps job; his first question was what operating system was installed on the PC I donated.

Later that day I had the privileged of sharing a few Tusker beers with a group of volunteers passing through Nairobi. They were from the Public Health, Deaf Education and Small Business programs. The common problem for all was the excessive corruption throughout all of Kenya. Basically the government has declared the education of its people the job of NGOs around the world. Tomorrow I leave for Safari and don’t know if I will have access to internet, so don’t think I was eaten by a Lion if you don’t see a posting.
