The area that is now Cabo Delgado, my province, was the last
land in Africa to receive a charter for development. I live, quite literally, on
the final frontier of Africa. As Peace Corps has developed over the last 51 years,
there are very few Peace Corps sites as rural and isolated as mine. Along with
its obvious drawbacks in comparison with American life (i.e., lack of access to
Target stores), there are some pretty great unexpected benefits to the
traditional Peace-Corps-hippe-granola life.
