CURRENT MISSION

Help anybody out with a place to crash

ABOUT ME

I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in The Gambia and a grad student in the Peace Corps Fellows Program at Western Illinois University. At the beginning of 2012 I accepted a Peace Corps Response Position in Namibia and have since transferred to Liberia where I stay in the southeast region of the country.

PHILOSOPHY

And so now I'd like to say - people can change anything they want to. And that means everything in the world. People are running about following their little tracks - I am one of them. But we've all got to stop just following our own little mouse trail. People can do anything - this is something that I'm beginning to learn. People are out there doing bad things to each other. That's because they've been dehumanised. It's time to take the humanity back into the center of the ring and follow that for a time. Greed, it ain't going anywhere. They should have that in a big billboard across Times Square. Without people you're nothing. That's my spiel.
