As my time in Cape Verde is slowly winding down, allow me to share some of what has been filling up my days…
- Panel Discussion at the Escola de Negocios e Gobernacao (ENG). I invited 3 agency heads (Peace Corps, Millennium Challenge Corporation, and the US Embassy’s Consular Office) to engage students and faculty in a lively conversation about “US-Cape Verdean Relations”.
- Field Trip to Serra Malagueta National Park and Tarrafal (on the North side of Santiago island) with the US Embassy’s Post Language Program.
- In-Service Training (IST) for secondary school teachers and Peace Corps volunteers on the volcanic island of Fogo with my boss from Dakar, Alice Murray. Visit to the crater and a local winery. Book donation at the “American Corner” in Mosteiros (see photo below). Luncheon in my honor at the Ambassador’s residence. Meetings at Ministry of Education.
