As a expeace corps volunteer, I know family and friends really enjoyed reading our blogs. Now that I have left I still enjoy reading volunteer blogs from my country. Though Peace Corps seems to have a fairly strict policy on blogging and during our training we were warned with stories of volunteers being “administratively seperated” from peace corps due to things they had honestly described in their blog. I don’t know if that story was really true but it scared many of the trainees that they all password protected their blogs and asked to be removed from the site mentioned above … kind of sad that a window into a country has to be closed due to PR reasons. Anyway nice article.

My mistake. They didn’t exactly gift us the house; we have to give it back when my wife’s contract is finished (in June 2008). The US Gov. rents the house — we just live there.

Who ‘gifts’ the items?

You are saying Peace Corps ‘gifted’ you a house?

Office of Management and Budget would want the accounting(OMB, White House).
