I'm a Peace Corps Volunteer in Timor-leste (East Timor) and this is a collection of stories from my time here. Above that I also have English resources for anyone who would like them in the Short Story Section. If you have anything you think would help future Volunteers or anyone really with becoming closer to Timor make sure to leave a comment!

Getting some water on a hot day!

Hi All,

It's a hot second day as we get Vaccinations and some training at the top of the day. I'm feeling the heat, but keeping cool in the shade. Drinking water is super critical, but I'm keeping up with it.

The enthusiasm I felt on day one has increased as I experience the day to day. Also my little milk buddy (su su been kabosu) is a great facilitator of cross cultural humor. I look forward to meeting my host family in a few days, and can't wait to get to work.

Much love,

~BW
