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.

So full!!!

Currently at Sejake’s family’s house and they have fresh homemade bread.  I just had a little, but now I am stuffed!  Bread or bohabe is one of my favorite things here!  And Basotho love their bohabe!  They make an amazing steamed bread too, oh and fat cakes…

Well as you can see after two years, I haven’t gotten sick of the food:)

Now the goal is to not eat too much, so I look skinnyish for a week and then I gain 10lbs from eating all of my favorite American foods! Haha, we’ll see how this goes!

So things are coming along here!  I am still working on translations and the video.  But fingers crossed it will all be done by the 18th.  Then the next week I am to Maseru for Close of Service (COS) and then it’s off to Joburg for a few days with Sejake and then home sweet home!!!

It’s weird sometimes if I close my eyes, I am back home in central Illinois and I feel like I have never left. 

Will things really be much different Stateside?  I am really unsure, but so so so looking forward to family, friends and hanging out!

What are my plans for when I am home?  Who knows, but I know that there will be hours of watching episodes of So You Think You Can Dance, Glee and just about anything else I can get my hands on.  Also visiting schools for grad school is also a plan for the next few months.  I also have a few places that I would love to travel to, if money isn’t so tight. 

so looking forward to the possibilities!
