My daughter's adventure

[KC]

My daughter just arrived in Mali, Africa today for a 2 year stint in the Peace Corps.
We're very proud of her and her decision to help the less fortunate, but we're also concerned for her safety and well-being in a poor 3rd world country.
She'll be issued a mountain bike for transportation and living in a hut with no electricity or running water. She'll be working at a clinic in a small village as a health outreach technician, teaching the locals about disease and hygene issues.

I wish her the very best and I will keep her in my prayers.

She 's is in our prayers also. We just ( last year) got my step daughter back for Mozambique Africa. Much the same as the bicycle goes , but she had water and electricity most of the week ( not sundays).

I think my niece has just returned from a one year trip around the world teaching religion, so I would imagine the world has been pretty much saved by now. I was the only family member that thought it was a mistake to even go.
prayers go out for your daughters safety. ole giller

Thank you all for your prayers and well-wishes.
Got an update from her today. She's in Mali and doing well. She's currently doing a "home stay" with a village chief's family as she learns the local language.
She got bit by a bot fly (look it up if you haven't heard of them, they're pretty disgusting) and had the larva come out of the wound. She said it was no big deal, a common occurance there.
