I lived in West Africa for a few years and I think not having water is definitely worse. I had a huge bucket collection when I lived there and always had a huge trash can of backup water cause my water would go out for days sometimes.

It Is defenitely worse not having water i agree

I live in an apartment and when eletricity goes off i don't have water neither so i always have to have collected/saved water

Oh interesting. Cote d’Ivoire or Ghana? Lots of asians and lebanese there.

Togo and Burkina Faso

Damn that is hardcore. Family live there or work?

I have always wanted to visit Timbuktu….( so close to that region :) i only made it to the middle of Ghana last time i traveled the region

Peace Corps. Ghana was my vacation spot when I lived in Togo. Ghana is more developed, has nicer beaches, and people speak English.

Thats awesome. Also major respect. Not an easy job. I ran across many Peace Corps while i was traveling the region. Yes Ghana is pretty decent. One of my friends did Peace Corps in Mauritania and she loved it. I don’t think i could take longer than 3 months there tbh 😆 need civilization

Yeah Peace Corps is not easy. Lots of people don’t complete the program. I almost died and almost went crazy, but somehow I completed the program and even went back to do Peace Corps Response. 😂

Total die hard!! 🤣😆 did you get repatriation depression or have a hard time when you came back? I didnt think it was a thing but like 6 months out and it was harder coming back home than being away

Nah I was stoked and felt invincible when I came back 😂

Good you didnt have reentry shock 🤣
