Hello everybody! Some disheartening news from the Peace Corps. Guinea is undergoing some internal strife initiated by a general labor strike and has seen several people killed in escalating protests against the government of President Conte. Nigeria and a few other west African nations are stepping in to help mediate and hopefully a peaceful resolution will come about soon. However, for the moment I have been indefinetly postponed. I will keep you all updated to any new changes. Thanks.

Greetings Trek North!
Thank you all very much for letting me come into your class today and share with you information about Guinea and the Peace Corps. I am looking forward to potentially communicating with you throughout the next couple of years. Please feel free to share your insights and opinions on this blog, and I will hopefully update it with new postings once a month. Thanks again!

Today I am attempting to set up and put this blog in motion. Apparently I will need all of my loved ones email addresses so that I can invite them to the blog and thus inable them to post respones to any letters I write.
