Back to Africa

After a day of Peace Corps orientation in Philly, a day en route through New York and Brussels to Yaounde, I finally made it to Cameroon! We had a few days of training in the capital (Yaounde) where we were not allowed to leave the hotel except for one hour one day. I did not get to see much of Cameroon at the beginning, but it was a good chance to get to know all the 43 other people in my stage (training group) and meeting some of the already volunteers passing by Yaonde. There are 158 total volunteers in Cameroon presently. At first, I couldn’t believe I was back in Africa and it felt like a flash back to my time studying abroad in Madagascar, but now it feels totally normal, almost like I never left.
