Jimbostank Episode IV: A New Adventure

A short time from then, in a country far, far away.... Jimbo packed his life into a couple bags and was on his way to Mozambique in an attempt to live life to the fullest. Little did Jimbo know that he would forget his guitar in South Africa, and upon arriving for Peace Corps training he would be manipulated to shave his long hair by the dark side of the staff (pun definitely not intended). But guitarless and bald, the new adventure had begun.

Chewie? Chewie, is that you?

I, maybe, edited a couple posts. Drew (Moz 19?), an education Peace Corps volunteer didn't survive Mabalane and was relocated to another site. I've talked to a few of my former students occasionally. The 70-100 kilometer dirt road to Mabalane is now paved. There's a bank, one of my former students works there. The village sounds a lot more like a town.

I read an amazing economics book on poverty, Poor Economics. This should be a must read for all PCVs and or people going overseas for foreign aid.

As for me, Helen and I are married with child and dog. I couldn't hack it as a stay at home dad, so I have been supplementing my domestic duties with subbing at the local secondary schools. Until the next update,

Peace, love, and do good things
