Third Goal

So here's one of 5 blog posts I started last summer and never finished, yikes!  This was actually all ready to go and then, BAM! nothing.  And by nothing, I mean I left Senegal, stopped briefly in Illinois, and started grad school within about 8 days.  A little intense.  So this is old, but here it is.

I've never talked about this before, but the Peace Corps is comprised of 3 different goals that define its mission in the world.  These three simple goals are as follows:

1. Helping the people of interested countries in meeting their need for trained men and women.

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

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

Goals 1 and 2 are obviously work that happens during your PC Service, as does Goal 3, but it's this last goal which they tell us we never can stop doing.  Every PCV is told to "bring it home!"

The Third Goal is...

If you click on the link for Regions, Africa, my pictures are currently the first 3 that come up (probably because they are the most recently uploaded).


**Please note, this above point is probably no longer relevant as it was WELL over a year ago that I started this post.  Still check it out though, I'm still bringing the Third Goal wherever I can.
