A comical take on the ups and downs of life as a Peace Corps Volunteer in West Africa. Skip to primary content. Gone Fishin’… Togo Style. June 11, 2012. From a distance, each identical to the next, but as you get closer, the individual intricacies of the hand carved symbols and now mostly faded bright colored paint jobs give them each their own unique character. So I pull out my camera and somewhat shadily start snapping pictures, trying to avoid the full on Hawaiian shirt and fanny pack tourist attentio...

Une Aventure Africaine: Last Post in Togo: The Lists
http://samantha-aventureafricaine.blogspot.com/2013/06/last-post-in-togo-lists_2266.html
Thursday, June 20, 2013. Last Post in Togo: The Lists. Things we’ll miss about Togo:. An excuse to repos/take a siesta. Drinking (tchakpa) in the morning. Kids excited to see you. Muslim call to prayer. No one is afraid to break out in a dance no matter how bad he or she is and if you wiggle your butt a little it’s like you’re the coolest person in the room. Children yelling your local name from corn fields as you walk down streets. Relatively inexpensive means of transportation. Open air buses :). June ...

Une Aventure Africaine: Pure Water Sachets
http://samantha-aventureafricaine.blogspot.com/2013/02/pure-water-sachets.html
Monday, February 11, 2013. In Togo, I’ve had to slightly suppress my pro-environment personality. You’d think it would be the opposite, being in Africa and all. But trash on the ground of every corner, deforestation near villages, and trash burning says otherwise. Even though respecting and protecting the environment is at the bottom of the must-do checklist, Togolese are learning. And PCVs educate them. Since purified water is scarce, in addition to bleaching and filtering, people buy small bags filled ...
TIT (This Is Togo): September 2012
http://katytodd.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
TIT (This Is Togo). You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you." – John Wooden. September 2, 2012. Over the past year I’ve grown to love Togolese food. Long gone are the constant cravings for Oreos and my mom’s tuta. One of my favorite Togolese dishes is called kalma. It’s a Moba word and there’s no French translation that I know of. I’ve only ever seen it in the Savannes region and other Volunteers down south have never hear...Now we were ready t...

Dwan gwaum) and their face breaks into a smile as they respond with the standard. Means `to be’ and the conjugations `I am’, `you are’, `he is’ need only a pronoun added before the verb–n bé, a bé, b bé. But that’s where the simplicity ends (in my opinion). I thought that was confusing; then I learned Moba. First of all, there exists two separate ...

TIT (This Is Togo). You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you." – John Wooden. April 24, 2012. I knew when coming to Togo that most Africans had a different outlook on time than Americans. Americans hate when people are late, rush to complete errands and view their time as a valuable work component. Togolese, in my experience, operate on ”. L’heure africaine" and. What is like to live in extreme temperatures? Closest thing Togo had to Gatorade), ...

Tales from Tonga
Peace Corps in the Kingdom of Tonga. Monday, November 21, 2011. Great, they were so happy to hear that I wanted to give them those things, and, true to Tongan form, they’re giving me a gift to thank me for giving them this gift. Or the family that I don’t really know as well that lives in the village (read: little community of 5 houses) nearby.
