d'etatHello everyone! I'm Jody! Welcome to American Cafe! Hey Yang Chen, what's that you're reading?
Let me see.
The Peace Corps?
You're thinking of joining the Peace Corps？
Well, I'm not surprised ...Yang Chen, it's really hard work.
Don't forget it's volunteer work.
Everybody wants excitement and adventure. But before you sign that contract, let's talk to our friends Jen and Sharrin. They were Peace Corps volunteers for one year in Cote d'Ivoire, West Africa.
Well, they ran into a little problem in Cote d'Ivoire ... something about an attempted coup d'etat.
A real coup.
Soldiers, guns - the whole nine yards. Not really what you would call a safe environment.
In fact, Jen and Sharrin were evacuated to the neighboring country of Ghana.
First let's hear from Jen.
There was an attempted coup d'etat in Cote d'Ivoire. Peace Corps, of course, took us out. It wasn't a safe environment. So, we were evacuated to a neighboring country - Ghana. From there we waited about two weeks to see if it would blow over. It turned out it wasn't safe enough. So from there we closed out our service for Peace Corp.
Exactly. After two weeks the danger did not blow over. So, Jen and Sharrin closed out their service with the Peace Corps.
That's right. You know, according to Jen, trouble would pop up frequently and then be fine the next day. But this time trouble popped up and did not blow over. Again here's Jen. |
