Cape Verde, Africa

Cape Verde will always been my home because of my family and friends that I meet along the journey. I have been in Cape Verde for three years (June 2007 to June 2009). I left for my Peace Corps service June 25th, 2007 for the Island nation of Cape Verde.

I taught computers, English, art, lifeskills, and worked on many projects. I got married to my wonderful husband after my service on August 14th, 2009 with his family and my family as witnesses. Then, we moved to Boa Vista were he was placed by the police department. We lived on Boa Vista for eight months. He saw more of the island then I did because he had access to the police vehicles for work. But we did see other parts of the island with our two friends.

We decided to move back to the States so he can go back to school and hopefully work as a police officer in America. And I want to go back to work because it was difficult to find a job on Sal Rei (politics).

We will be back to Cape Verde in the next couple of years to visit our friends and family that we haven't seen in so a long time. Cape Verde and America is our web.
