Year 3 – Volunteering in Cameroon

Hello, and welcome to Year 3! I hope to write a bit about what’s going on here in Cameroon as I trek through my third year of Peace Corps service. Where am I in Cameroon? What am I doing exactly? Any exciting experiences? I’ll be answering these questions and many more, so stay tuned!

After a whirlwind trip to the States in August, and a non-stop workload after returning to Cameroon, things are finally settling down—or I should say, finding a rhythm at least. I am now three months in to my third year of service. Feels like I’ve only been here one month though. I thought time only moved really fast in places like the States, but I’m finding that it can move like that anywhere. What I’m trying to hold onto is that sense of the moment. Once we become invested in our calendars and what’s happening tomorrow, today ceases to exist. Well I never want to lose site of today.

Speaking of today, Happy Thanksgiving! My warmest wishes to everyone Stateside. Bon appetit!
