“Learn from yesterday, live for
today,
look to tomorrow, rest this afternoon.”
~Charles M. Schulz
On Sunday our Country Director, Lauren Mamane, threw a BBQ for
the 15 Peace Corps Volunteers who were first to finish the 2014 Annual
Volunteer Survey. It was such fun, with American music, delicious
food (including sushi!), and wonderful company. I was blown away! Lauren’s house is a beautiful oasis from the rest of Lome. With her air conditioning, pool, and lovely yard, I
completely forgot where I was for a moment. It was great to relax and chat with
friends, Lauren’s family, and a couple of expats living in Lome. There is such camaraderie and understanding within the expat community. I loved listening to their
stories and found myself thinking many times “I understand EXACTLY how you feel!” I’m
sure I will find this throughout my life whenever I talk to RPCVs or expats.
