This weekly drum circle established in 1979 at Meridian Hill Park in D.C. illustrates how rhythm and unity is ubiquitous across all cultures.

Where and when did you serve? in c/peacecorps

I’ll kick it off: Lesotho group 80 (Community Health and Economic Development) from 2013-2015

Some of the grassroots projects I started in my village are still functioning today. By that metric it was certainly successful.
I didn’t even know what Lesotho was when I got my invite. Needless to say, it’s an absolutely beautiful part of the world and I consider it a 2nd home now.
Almost daily. I have two very close friends and we keep in touch on Whatsapp. I also returned in 2019 for a vacation/reunion and plan to do so every 5 years.

Would you consider your service a success?
Any highlights you want to share?
Do you still keep in touch with any HCNs?

Thanks, I used Google Lens to reverse image search and then cross referenced the results with my state’s biodiversity page.

Didn't even know such a thing existed. At first I thought it was a baby hummingbird until I got closer and saw the fur and antennae.

As a RPCV myself (Lesotho), I was disappointed to find there weren't any communities on the fediverse relating to the organization. Voila! We now have a forum.
