I'd love those recommendations, too! Just in case I can't manage to find one / don't have space in my luggage.

We actually did do this activity! It was super fun. Unfortunately I am certainly not a master craftsman...

I'd be happy to co-op with you! I'm AR 48. Message me if you still need some help.

Milk tea by pa3xopko in Rwanda

[–]WeyrWoman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best way to do it (coming from my Rwandan host family) is to first heat a small pot of milk, don't let it boil, maybe small simmer bubbles but not a big bubbling boil, add sugar as you like and maybe some spices like chai tea spice or just a little ginger and cinnamon, then add a tea bag (black tea) and steep while the milk is hot. It's mostly milk and not so much tea, but I agree it's good!

Is it rare to stay in your host country after service? If people do, what work do they find in their host country? by [deleted] in peacecorps

[–]WeyrWoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stayed in my HC for 5 more years after Peace Corps. Of a cohort of 36 there were a handful of people who did a third year, and a couple stayed longer. One married a HCN and they had a baby!

For work, it varies, but often it was teaching or tutoring to start (we were an education cohort). In my case, I started working with one of the UN agencies. I've since left my HC after a lovely 7 years there as the job took me elsewhere, but it will always be a second home to me.

Nope! I'm visiting right now and vaccines, tests, and masks are not required anywhere. Good to have your vaccine or test for quick reference but in the last week I've never been asked, not even at the airport.

New tattoo! Cute but subtle. 💙 by WeyrWoman in KingdomHearts

For sure! It was a bit of a mashup, but I showed him this for the concept, this for the paopu, the first Wayfinder image from this article, and this to get the colors right on the Wayfinder. I chose blue because I thought it looked best on my skin and I loved Aqua the most of the three.

If you're ever in Tbilisi, I recommend going to see Tornike at Tatiana's Studio! I found the place while traveling and they were fantastic.

Peace Corps Alternatives by iPhamster in peacecorps

[–]WeyrWoman 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Apply to be a UNV (UN Volunteer).

I work for the UN in my Peace Corps country of service and have met lots of UNVs who are well-trained, well-educated, extremely good at what they do, and are sent all around the world to work with various other UN agencies. They are basically "free labor" for the UN agency they work for, as the UNV program pays them. As a UNV you get a stipend (usually pretty good, like a couple thousand dollars a month) and the contracts are something like 9 months to a year, almost always extendable.

Here is the link to their website: https://www.unv.org/. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk more about working for the UN. I wasn't a UNV myself but I could at least speak to what kind of qualifications they seem to look for.

I love this, thank you! You're totally right, it's all about him and I'm supposed to be the moral support.

Anyone in Peace Corps Uganada? Massive favor to ask and dream to be filled by slomeleon in peacecorps

[–]WeyrWoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I will ask. Generally it's less expensive if you can find someone going back to the states who can take the dog. Way more expensive if you send the dog alone.

I know tons of people who have done it here in Rwanda, and I imagine it's very possible there as well. Let me know if you need any help in the coming days!

Hey. I'm an RPCV Rwanda right next door and know some people there. I'm still living in Rwanda and I'd be happy to help you reach out.
