The Task Ahead

In 1994 the government of Suriname formally invited Peace Corps to establish a rural community development program designed to assist its Amerindian and Maroon communities in the country's rural interior. Today, more than 300 volunteers have served in the country, including the 40 presently serving.

In February 2011 I too was invited to serve as a volunteer in Suriname. I was assigned to the Community Economic Development (CED) program, which strives to promote participatory community development, children and youth skills development and sustainable business practices. I hope to use this blog to inform family and friends about my activities, adventures and mishaps. Enjoy!

Pictures

 Kinota that I ran into at the durotank. These are postmortem, of course.
 Bush spider that I found IN MY BOOT when I went outside to take a picture of the snake I'd just killed.
 Nukse standing over her dead prey. Nukse, frog killer extraordinaire is standing over her prey post-execution.  (Two little buggars that found their way into my room).
 Christine and her grandchildren the day we went to grounds with them to pic watermelons.
The boat, loaded with the day's crop.

    Hello Kate! I'm an RPCV from Senegal ('07-'09) and I'm cruising the PCV Suriname blogs to try and meet you guys, because I just got a job teaching English in French Guiana. We're only a border crossing away! It would be great to hear more about the area & what's going on in PC-Suriname land. Please e-mail me if you get a chance: parisamante@gmail.com
