In honor of 57 years of Peace Corps, I’m sharing what family and community looked like for me in Mali and Senegal and celebrating my host families and the place I called home for a few glorious years! To the Koné(Diarra), Don, Diakite, Ba, and Ndiaye families and the entire Baugindea, Manatali, Thies, and Kaffrine villages that embraced me during my service... THANK YOU! All of my first memories of real culture immersion and the experiences that made me step so far out of my comfort zone took place in these two countries. I left my home and went to my home. #BeingDadjiKone #BeingAdjiBa #Bambara #French #Wolof 🇲🇱 🇸🇳 #TwoCountriesOneService #LoveIsCultureExchange #HappyPeaceCorpsWeek #March1st #CharterDay #PeaceCorps #PCVlife #PeaceCorpsFamily #57years #LoveIsService
