Notes from a Peace Corps volunteer in Senegal
Who is this?
- CHRIS
- I am a Peace Corps volunteer living in China teaching English. I transferred here from Senegal, where I spent two years working in environmental education.
Contact info
I'd love to hear what YOU think!
Comment on my blog or,
Mail me stuff:
PCV Chris Carpenter
Corps de la Paix
B.P. 2245
Mbour, Senegal
West Africa
-note: customs (they) often (always) open the packages that I get here and search (rifle through, tear things in, ?pour sawdust into?) those packages. If you are sending anything valuable, be cautioned and take care to secure it, perhaps in a tampon box re-taped shut, or the like. If you are sending anything breakable or meltable, well, careful. And thank you.
Or you can write me short-n-sweet or long-n-elaborate emails:
czcarpenter [a with circle] gmail [period dealie] com
all contact with the outside world is appreciated and reminds me that there is perhaps more to life than throwing clods of dirt at chickens. wait, there is, isnt there??

Disclaimer 2:
The anecdotes and observations expressed in this blog are often written at a time of high stress, excitement or exhaustion. Therefore, the nature of this blog represents not purely the day to day life of either living in Senegal or being a PCV, but rather it is simply me sweating in a cyber with flickering power hoping to write down some of the most rediculous parts of the past weeks or months. Forgive me for sounding negative, forgive me for sounding crazy, forgive me for my exagerations. Keep this in mind when reading these entries, but freal, my life is crazy here sometimes.
