One of my favorite projects I have undertaken in the last
two years has been working on the Peace Corps Ethiopia website. Myself and
three other Volunteers (seen working incredibly hard above) were the founding dream
team responsible for creating and shaping this brand new website. It shares
what PC Ethiopia is with the public and gives Volunteers in country every document
and resource available.
In Ethiopia, progress is slow. In order to do anything, I
normally need to meet with three or four different people. Then I need to get
my plans stamped by some official who is inevitable out of the office. With the
website, we decided to make something, and simply did it. If we wanted a page
on Grassroot Soccer, we did it. There was no red tape and no purple stamp in
our way. Instant gratification.
So if you’re curious, check it out. If you’ve ever had any questions about what Peace Corps
Ethiopia is or does, all the answers are probably here, http://www.pcethiopia.org/
