Shrinking List

Had an excellent suggestion from a blog-reader to eliminate the countries that speak French. As Ken and I don't speak French (or Spanish as was determined in our shenanigans with the possible Latin American placement) the Peace Corps would not be wise, and thankfully not planning to send us to a French speaking country. That actually rules a lot of them out. Additionally, I looked more in depth at each country to see which of them have primary focus on Health Education and Agriculture. Most of the countries in Africa have HIV Health Education programs, but fewer have Agriculture programs, and even fewer have both. So here's the updated list. Of course, Peace Corps can do anything they want, so we could get sent anywhere, but if I had money to gamble, I would pick one of these countries.

Non-French Speaking, Sub-Saharan countries of Africa Currently Accepting Peace Corps Volunteers, and Whose Primary Programs are Health Education and Agriculture:

1. Gambia
2. Ghana
3. Malawi
4. Tanzania
5. Zambia

Much smaller list! :)
