Among many that I have been lucky to have been acquainted with in my life, has again recently become my friend Jo. She has been since the moment we met, but what she has been through lately makes what is left of my hair curl.
For those of you who don't know, she was serving as a PCV in the Republic of Georgia and was evacuated due to the danger and uncertainty surrounding the recent invasion and attacks by Russia. She has since returned to Georgia and although not officially anymore a PCV has chosen to stay in the wake of the conflict to help the people who, as she says, "need help more than ever."
Now I know that I bitch and moan about the roughness of my life in Seronga, but at least I have peace and general stability. I cannot imagine how my heart would break if something like this were to happen in my village/country. Please keep reading her blog http://www.jomrrl.blogspot.com/ for updates and help support her cause in any capacity you can, including but not limited to sending good vibes. Her strength is a source of inspiration for me, and please remember that along with our friends down south in light of the recent hurricane, just because the immediate danger is over doesn't mean anyone is out of the woods-rebuilding takes a lot.
Peace, Love, Hope
Jen
