"Tsamaya Sentle" Lunch with NASTAD/MLG

I had a goodbye lunch at the Gaborone Sun with colleagues from my Monday-Tuesday-Whenever job (working half-time with the NASTAD team at the Ministry of Local Government). To all: Thank you for your support and friendship, in addition to the parting gift—a framed, artistic map of the country from Botswana Craft. I love maps! Seeing it on my wall will be a great reminder of my time here.

I really enjoyed working with MLG/NASTAD because it built of my experience with HIV/AIDS coordination in Molepolole. It was also great to help mentor and advise Peace Corps volunteers working in a similar capacity at the district level. I hope my contributions to NASTAD/MLG’s efforts measured up to at least a tiny fraction of the knowledge, insights, connections, and experience I gained over the past year.
