| Introduction | (Note: The opinions expressed in this blog are mine personally and do not necessarily reflect the position of the U.S. Government or the Peace Corps.) Greetings. I´m a 23-year old Louisvillian currently serving in Peace Corps/Paraguay. I was a PCV in Bolivia for 8 months in 2008 before the program was suspended in September. In 2007 I worked as an apprentice at Ivor Chodkowski´s Field Day Family Farm, where I spent many days picking tomatoes and removing VPS (viable pigweed seed). I studied philosophy at Bellarmine University and earlier attended Trinity High School. |
