I am officially a two time Returned Peace Corps Volunteer!

I completed my service on the 28^th of March surrounded by PC staff and volunteers that became my second family. We gathered in a circle on the lawn of the PC office in Lusaka for “ringing out”. This is an intimate gathering meant to acknowledge the impact a volunteer made in their community and to wish them well into their future. I was honored to have my fellow volunteers and project team present to reflect on the moments we shared together over the past 12 months. Though my service has come to an end, I am still in Zambia and will remain for some time.

Welcome to the next chapter of jess•make•room, short reflections of my life while living in Zambia, post Peace Corps service.
