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.

Ke qetile/I’m finished! I am officially a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer (RPCV)! Friday was officially my last day, but I have spent the weekend back at Morija with Sejake’s family finishing up some project things. Now Sejake and I are suppose to go to Johannesburg today and I don’t think I’m ready yet. Feeling overwhelmed and that I need another day to get ready to go. So we will see. I’m not flying out until Wednesday night and I have my kleenex ready. I am so excited and nervous about going home, but I am so sad about leaving! Peace Corps has been an amazing roller coaster ride and I am so happy that I was able to have this experience. It has been a lifetime of experiences rolled into two years! Picture is from last sunday. MNF threw me a farewell party. Here I am in my seshoeshoe from MNF and standing with the Mats’ela men. Kamohelo (Sejake’s nephew), Sejake, me and Ntate Lebohang (Sejake’s dad). Lehakisi, Sejake’s sister is missing, she had to work:( XOXO
