Comforts of home. Peace Corps Volunteers all over the world often get ill. Contaminated water, different hygiene practices for food, different illnesses and parasites can all be contributing factors. I was not immune. I’ve been battling some bad juju for many months and finally called on our in country medical team for help. My Peace Corps Dr was helpful, kind and a great translator when I needed it. Some fellow volunteers helped me out. I was well cared for. But I am far away from home and comforts of the familiar and it wasn’t easy. My local folks asked after me. Came by the house with food and asked if they could help me. But nothing is quite like a familiar voice, a good friend, who you can count on. I am finally better and can eat normal food! Pancakes with local blackberries it is! And all through it @kexp was there to keep me company, helping me maintain the familiar, providing great music to occupy my thoughts. There was news of home - the weather, The Showbox, events around town. Yes the comforts of home can be found in many different ways. I am grateful for electricity and internet so I can maintain this connection. Now for pancakes and more music! 🎶 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #pancakes #blackberries #comforts #comfortsofhome #kexp #friends #thefamiliar #music #independentradio #peacecorps #peacecorpsukraine #peacecorpsukraine52 #ukraine #home #україна #корпусмуру #howiseepc #peacecorpsstories #peacecorpsjourney (at Ukraine) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmnBv5RAhUh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wch5a663d0rn
