Meeting Deaf Returned Peace Corps Volunteers

What would you consider a gold mine of information, when you are going to serve with the Peace Corps in Kenya?

When you get a rare opportunity to meet so many previous Peace Corps Volunteers all at once, to tap into them to learn of their experiences and receive advice straight from .

To sprinkle diamonds onto the gold mine, it is an even precious opportunity when they all are also Deaf AND served in Kenya as well.

I got to meet only five of them at the Kentucky Deaf Festival in Louisville yesterday but I missed a couple others who left right after the National Association for the Deaf (NAD) completed its convention two days day prior.

I am also searching for and collecting blogs or photography done by those Deaf RPCV Kenya.  For now, you can find Sarah Gordon's here.
