A Peace Corps Volunteer’s Memoirs... Is there something in the lessons I learned that makes sense of why an Arab Muslim boy who grew up in America came to understand himself (and the world) more fully in Central Africa?

IMAGE: a poor scan of a draft of my SW and Littoral provinces ecological fact-sheet. i recall this process in yaounde being both a little frustrating (mostly for want of resources) and fun... b/c i felt like i was finally doing some environmental-related research and writing. not simply teaching primary school material.
ReplyDeletei look back now and realize what more flexibility and resourcefulness on my part could have meant for making the kind of teaching situation i found myself much more environmental focused and active. i think i started to have glimpses of that in my 2nd year here. particularly as school started falling apart and my confidence as an educator rose.
more to come, insha'Allah...
