One of my TA's this semester has spent the past 3 years living in Benin, Africa as a Peace Corps volunteer. She loved it - said it was the most amazing, uplifting, spiritual experience of her life. Things seem less trivial and complicated for her now.
She lived in a town that was something like 40 miles away from a paved road. no running water. she lived in a mud house. grew her own food. Her job was teaching the women of the village about "feminine concerns"
It's an interesting idea.. but i don't know if I have what it takes to do that...
