Yours, Mai Tapescript: I came here two years ago because I wanted to teach people about modern health care. I will be leaving in about two months : I wish I could stay longer but it’s time for me to go home. My work here has been very interesting. Iam learning so much . I always wish that there would be more hours in the day so that I could do more. Maybe it’s silly, but I worry about what will happen to the villagers after I leave. I wish my students remembered all the things I’ve tried to teach them. I’ve become so close to the people here, I wish I could take them home with me ! But of course that’s impossible. I wish more people joined the Peace Corps. It’s so rewarding and there’s so much work to be done.
