My very first blog entry
For those of you who haven't heard I have accepted an invitation to volunteer with the Peace Corps in Senegal. I will be leaving September 18th to work in an agroforestry program. This essentially means that I will be helping farmers and communities develop sustainable forests by planting a variety of trees.
If all goes according to plan I will use this to update you on my adventures in Senegal. I don't know how often I will have access to the internet but hopefully it will be a couple times a month. So check this link to get the most up-do-date info.
