We’ve just received news that all of the Peace Corps in Mali,
Africa were evacuated due to a coup. Whenever there is any sort of internal
struggle or any engagement in war/rebellion Peace Corps is immediately
evacuated out and leaves the country, and it turns out there were about 200 volunteers
in Mali and they were given the option of just going home or going to serve in
another country. Out of the few who decided to continue on to another country
three of them are going to be sent to Vanuatu. Someone from PC called Zack (who
as you know lives very close by me) and asked if it would be OK if someone moved
to his village and he said sure, which means we are getting one of the Mali
vols (short for volunteers) which is pretty cool! That will bring Ambae up to
eight PCVs which beats every other island except Efate in terms of number of
volunteers and that will make three man Ambae on west which is also nice.
