Racine Frank joined us at the Small World Café to share her experience as a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer who evacuated from Ethiopia in March 2020 due to COVID-19. Frank is a graduate of the University of West Florida and a former team member at Gulf Coast Diplomacy.
Calling in from her new home in Texas, Frank shared her experience with photos and by answering countless questions. She spoke about food, differences in lifestyle, her work in Ethiopia, and locusts. Members wondered about language training and the medical processes used by the Peace Corps and were also curious about her general impressions of her village.
At the end of the meeting, when asked if there was one thing participants should remember from the session, Frank shared, “To remember that there is a world beyond ours. It is ours to discover and we should take advantage of that.”
