You go to school and all is well. You teach and have a good day, such a good day that you think of heading to a nearby village to see your nearest neighbor. After biking the 22 k to visit your fellow Peace Corps Volunteer, you are seen by a passing Peace Corps administrator without your helmet. They subsequently take your bike, leaving you to walk home. You get home only to find a car waiting. It's white body with the PC emblem on the side sends shivers down your spine. It's the Safety and Security Officer. He's surrounded by villagers that are placing your belongings into the car.
Before you know it, you are on a plane home with a big Administratively Separated notice stamped on your forehead. Should have worn your helmet.

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
