No Hurry in Africa

<p>Have you ever dreamed about joining the Peace Corps?</p> <p>Unemployed and aching to really make a difference in the world Theresa Munanga applied to serve as a Peace Corps Volunteer. When she left for her assignment in Kenya she had no idea what the three years from 2004-2007 would hold. <i><b>No Hurry in Africa</i></b> follows the author as she teaches computer skills to Kenyans some of whom have never seen a computer before in areas where electricity comes and goes and where four computers serve to teach up to forty students per class. Riveting journal entries and emails home introduce Kenya as a beautiful country yet a country of contrasts: where people walk miles out of their way to direct you to your destination. Where men can have multiple wives. Where women wash clothes by hand and carry babies on their backs. A country with friendly hard working people but also a country with a lack of safe drinking water poverty corruption and less than adequate medical services in the remote areas.<p>
