Three days ago, I was interviewed by a Mauritanian radio station during "Rosso Day" (an event designed to familiarize locals with Peace Corps presence, goals, etc.). I spoke on our new Peace Corps training center in Rosso and on integrating environmental education (EE) into the national curriculum. Luckily I had an especially articulate French day: they aired my linguistic acrobatics twice.
Then, today, while doing research for my EE training sessions, I stumbled upon this June 13th news item at globe.gov. Under Near East and North Africa, I'm mentioned by name and quoted at length. Emphasis on length. Either this is a synthesis of several quotes, or I was feeling particularly verbose that day. Eep.
I don't know if these are just steps on the way to international renown or simply quotes that may eventually be taken out of context during some electoral or application process. Let's assume the former?
