Where is Amy?

On November 7, 2005, Amy and 57 other Peace Corps Volunteers left the United States for the country of Namibia. She will be there until December of 2007.

Amy lives in the town of Anker, a dusty little place of several hundred people with a school of about 300 kids in K-7th grades. There was one volunteer here just before her but she is the only white person in town and probably for many miles in any direction. She teaches English and Science, is the school librarian and works on many projects that will improve the town and school.
Here is a link to a post about her home and school.
