Our cohort, Education PCVs 2013-2015, was called Team ExTreme. At first, because we had an alarming number of ETs (early terminations). At our COS (close-of-service) conference 13 volunteers remained and 5 extended. Now who’s ExTreme?! Today, Dan and I will “gong out” and close our service. Which will leave ONE PCV from Team ExTreme…
THE MOST ExTREME OF THE TEAM!
Cara has been a site-mate, friend, confidante, and inspiration to me during my service. Cara (or Sali as she is known in the Gambia) has extended a full year to be the PCVL (Peace Corps Volunteer Leader) for the Education sector. I will miss the snarky texts and thoughtful, critical perspective on… everything. Keep an eye out for Cara’s posts, photos, and videos as she continues her service in the Gambia.
Good luck Cara! Team ExTreme is behind you… or ahead of you? Anyways, see you in America.

Hi Jacy,
We have really enjoyed your posts on this blog during your time in The Gambia!! Safe travels home! Love, Judy Wyzlic
Congratulations Cara! That is so cool that she is taking on that role! Nice.
Hi Jacinda,
Sorry to bother you. My name is Ray Blakney and I am an RPCV from Mexico (2006-2008). Hope you are adjusting well to RPCV life. I am working on a 3rd goal project with the PC regional offices and the main office in DC to try to create an online archive to keep the language training material made all over the world from getting lost. I have created a sub-section on the website my wife and I run Live Lingua with all the information I have been able to get to date (from over the web and sent to me directly by PC staff and PCV’s). I currently have close to 100 languages with ebooks, audios, and even some videos.
The next step for this project is that I am trying to get the word out about this resource so that it can not only be used by PCV’s or those accepted into the Peace Corps, but also so that when people run across material that is not on the site they can send it to me and I can get it up for everybody to use. I was hoping that you could help getting the word out by putting a link on this on your site here, so that people know it is there. There should be something there for almost everybody. It is all 100% free to use and share. Here is the specific page to what we call the Live Lingua Project:

Thanks for any help you can provide in making this 3rd goal project a success. And if anybody in your group has some old material they can scan or already have in digital form, and want to add to the archive, please don’t hesitate to pass them my email. Thanks and have a great day.
