I am a retired elementary school teacher who spent most of my time teaching first-graders in a rural school in Watauga County, Boone, NC.
After retirement, I knew I wanted to fulfill a dream of working and living in a third world culture. I did this by becoming a Peace Corps Volunteer in Jordan. Part of serving with PC means that you become an ambassador for your host country in your home country. What a wonderful opportunity to share with my friends, family, and community folks the lives of the Arab people and especially the Muslim.
Now I am a missionary appointed by the Episcopal Church in America and am headed to India, again to teach English. This time to Hindu children living in the slums.
I feel very fortunate to be able to do this at this time of my life. It's challenging and exciting, and I hope to make a difference in some small way in the lives of these children and their families.
