The Gambia Red Cross Society


As many of you know, now that my Peace Corps work is finished and I am still living in The Gambia, I have decided to spend my time volunteering with The Gambia Red Cross Society. I have been working here for over two weeks now and things are going great. I am gaining a lot of experience into my future work endeavors, plus it keeps me busy so things are good. I thought I would post a photo of me and my friend Lamin at our desk.... just to give you guys a little idea of what my office looks like. I am working on strategy plans for the society and also being able to assist in creating a resource center for the regional main office (I will make sure to post photos of that later). These positions give me a lot of internet access so while working, I have also been able to start applying for jobs online back home. I just applied for my first government job and felt like I jumped a mountain, took me a week to apply. I have now kicked off the beginning of my search for a government job in the States.... wish me luck.
Things in The Gambia are going well. Abass and I are doing great we are both healthy and strong. Married life is going good.... nothing new to report there.
I will try to keep my blog more updated now that I have internet access at my finger tips.
I hope you are all doing well.
Love Jessi
