Thoughts & Prayers!!

Receiving an email from Peace Corps director Mr. Williams early this morning to inform everyone of yet another death of a volunteer really hurt/worries me. Should I just pack up and go?

During my time in South Africa volunteers have been lost for an array of reasons: rock climbing accident, attempted robbery/ murder and natural causes at the early age of 26. Every time I hear news of a PCV losing his/her life I think about my friends and family back home. I know they are receiving the same news and are probably just as worried as I am.

Personally I don't know any of the fallen PCV'S, but as long as I am a PCV they are family to me. My thoughts and prayers go out to those who have lost loved ones while serving as volunteers..
