Living in "The Layers" - Bonnie's Peace Corps Exp. in Guinea et Mali et now Beyond PC

Curious why I titled my blog as it is? See the second Posting. 3 Goals of Peace Corps: 1) To provide volunteers who contribute to the social and economic development of interested countries; 2) To promote a better understanding of Americans among the people whom volunteers serve; and 3) To strengthen Americans' understanding about the world and its peoples.
