a day in the life of a PCV in Rambo
You wake up to the mating of donkeys and a rooster that is adamant about the morning hour. The sun is peaking through your iron window shades. You're contemplating not getting out of bed this morning when children start to scream outside your door. For a moment your heart panics and you wish to rush outside to save them from certain death then you realize it was only a small herd of baby goats. They call them 'kids' for a reason, after all.
The eliptico cot creaks and the foam bounces back as you lift yourself from the bed and stretch. The concrete is cool on your feet. The small room is still a cold seventy degrees from the winter night so you are rushing to slide on a pair of pajama pants when you hear a knock on the door. You check your cracked cellphone to find it is only 6:00 a.m. You hear the knock again.
Do you answer the door?
Yes (click here)

a little about burkina faso
Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta) achieved independence from France in 1960. Repeated military coups during the 1970s and 1980s were followed by multiparty elections in the early 1990s. Current President Blaise COMPAORE came to power in a 1987 military coup and has won every election since then.
Burkina Faso's high population density and limited natural resources result in poor economic prospects for the majority of its citizens. Recent unrest in Cote d'Ivoire and northern Ghana has hindered the ability of several hundred thousand seasonal Burkinabe farm workers to find employment in neighboring countries.
Location:
Western Africa, north of Ghana
Geographic coordinates:
13 00 N, 2 00 W
Area:
total: 274,200 sq km land: 273,800 sq km water: 400 sq km
