PC Projects
Part of being a Peace Corps Volunteer is being a self-starter.
I will have certain things that I HAVE to do as a teacher of English for the Peace Corps, but then there are many other things that I COULD do - side projects - whether through Peace Corps or through local NGOs (non-governmental organizations).
This page will be for those side-projects as they develop.

Teaching
Started teaching recently! I'll write more about it soon!
English Club
Let's see how this English club develops!
The Artist
There is an artist who lives close by and sculpts wood. I have partnered up with him and we plan on opening up and arts and crafts school.
Update: the artist has been arrested for money-laundering so this project probably won't happen. Nevertheless, there may be other ways of including arts in school.

At the Orphanage
I am spending a couple evenings a week tutoring and playing with orphans in a nearby town called Lobogo. I will be talking more with the nuns to find out what the children need to see if there's a project we can work on together.
Adult Education
The community has expressed strong interest in starting Adult Education groups. I'm currently gathering materials to make this happen.
