Opis

Brandon and Rachel Johnson served as U.S. Peace Corps Volunteers from July 2006 to December 2008. Living in the rural village of Kgobagodimo in the Limpopo Province, they became passionately involved in their community through youth development, health education, and teacher training programs. This book includes the entirety of Brandon and Rachel's personal blog from their time of service in South Africa, including the months leading up to their departure and their readjustment afterward. The following is an excerpt from their March 17th entry in 2008: "Rachel and I had some really tough times at the beginning. We struggled through many frustrating weeks of school and miserable days in the village. But in the midst of it all, with a lot of hard work and motivation, we slowly found our passion. "We found the things that make us smile. We found the things that make us go to bed at night saying, 'today was a good day.' Not all Peace Corps Volunteers reach that point. We feel blessed we have."
