My Peace Corps Adventure

The next phase of my life begins on March 19, 2012, when I depart for a twenty-seven month adventure in Morocco. I initially arrive in Rabat, Morocco’s capital, and begin training, not only in the language and culture of Morocco, but also with respect to the service and assistance I will provide.


It is amazing how much I still don't know about my impending Peace Corps experience, given that it is almost upon me. I will be working in the "Youth Development" arm of the Peace Corps, but what my duties will be remains to be seen. I might teach English to children, coach soccer, or work with educators to establish educational guidelines.


And where I will call "home" within the confines of Morocco is equally unknown. I may find myself in a village with no or limited utilities (electric, water, sewer) or perhaps in a sizable town with my own high speed Internet access. Not until my training is almost complete will I have answers to these and other questions.


...so stay tuned if you're interested in following me on my journey. I hope to log in and comment often on my experiences and share with you some of the highlights of my odyssey !

  2. Hey Charley,

    Way to go, Bromigo. What an adventure especially at your advanced age. Nyuk. A whole new continent of ladies who aren't familiar w/ your scandelous womanizing rep. Talk about a license to steal. Anyway, you need to get in contact w/me in regards to our business venture. The wolves are at the door and we need to pony up to keep them at bay. My e-mail is jimmyjam4949@yahoo.com or e-mail Marc at kershekandshular@hotmail.com. This is urgent!!!
    Kappy had a heart attack on the ice last month but they got him to the hospital in time. Open heart surgery, stints etc. he's turned over a new leaf and reformed his unhealthy habits. Self preservation is a strong motivator.
    Get in touch ASAP and be well and stay safe.

    All the Best,

    Jimmy
