Guyana, first three weeks…
These are some random pictures that I took in my outings and around my house. I did go to the beach in Skeldon and a huge storm was coming, amazing cloud formations. More to come….
The official first post from Guyana…
I will be here for the next five months. I am living in Yakusari in Black Bush Polder (East Berbice) Guyana. My main objective is to setup, teach staff and students basic IT and computer skills, educate residents of Yakusari and create a computer club. I’m Sir Marcus to the students of grades 4-9. The population is mostly East Indians. Black Bush Polder is soley agriculture and the population and education is declining. Here are some pictures of the setup of the lab, I’ll be teaching next week. More to come…
the little boy in Brikama…
I recently found out that this little boy which I do not know his name passed away. When I visited his family to sponsor his older brother, he did not look very healthy. I took this picture last in 2009 in Brikama. Just very sad that he really didn’t have a chance in life or get the right medical care he needed. God bless him.
remembering The Gambia, a few more…
A little tribute to The Gambia, a few portraits that were taken at Genak Island (2010)
The End of the Gambia Project…
My Peace Corps service ended in July 2010. I want to say a big thanks to all that viewed my photo blog and all the great comments! Many of you gave me strength and support during my service. I had a very rewarding time in The Gambia and the memories will last a lifetime. Here is the lone survivors of our two year service.
I have accepted a Peace Corps Response assignment in Guyana that starts in October 2010, so please come back and visit.
