Lost in Lesotho

Putting words to my experiences as a PCV in Lesotho and now as an RPCV living in the Midwest! Continuing the journey post PC with a new job and long distance relationship with my boyfriend that is born and raised in Lesotho and that I met as a volunteer!

About Me: I'm a quarter life Midwestern girl that worked with Preschool (ECCD) teachers in Lesotho, Southern Africa. Now as an RPCV, I'm working with a rural school district in IL as a parent involvement coordinator with families with children 0-3.

Happy New Year Everyone! I had a really nice time with Sejake’s family at Christmas and then had a fun New Year’s Eve visiting friends during the day. Well it looks like I will be a PCV for a little bit longer. The library development video that I am doing with Sejake still isn’t finished. So we will keep working on it and now my new COS date is February 25th. So looking forward to seeing friends and family back home! I do have a real love for Lesotho and it is going to be very hard temporarily leaving Sejake here, but it’s what I need to do for me! I am really proud of myself for making it to the end of my service and all the things that I have accomplished! I really have to thank the U.S. government and Peace Corps for this opportunity. I could have never done this on my own! So I will spend the next 45 days, finishing projects and buying souvenirs! I plan on selling or mailing most of my belongings home, so that my suitcase will be filled with Lesotho! Love you all and promise more videos, pictures and descriptions of what I am up to soon!
