After my 24 day initial settling-in period, I made a quick trip down to the capital, Conakry, to reunite with G11 and attend the affectation ceremony, when they were sworn in as volunteers. Peace Corps Guinea was celebrating its 20th year in Guinea, and Peace Corps overall was celebrating its 45th anniversary. Many visiting officials attended and the Peace Corps Guinea staff wore matching outfits in African fabric.
The new Fouta volunteers were welcomed to the Labe regional house by a group of Fouta volunteers, who made sure we were all well fed and having a great time as G11 prepared for the big move. One day we all traveled to Porto Falls, a waterfall about an hourÂ’s drive north of Labe, for a day of relaxation and good times.
