Kate and Brian Fassett, of Portland, Oregon, met on a study abroad program in Ecuador. After they married, they volunteered for the Peace Corps. Learning about new cultures was an important part of who they were – and they wanted to share the experience with their two daughters, ages 7 and 10. Financially, the only way to do it was if Brian got an overseas job. In this interview, Lisa catches the Fassetts in the last days of their 14 months living in northern Uganda, where Brian worked for a nonprofit that offers microfinance to small farmers. Hear about the richness and challenge of taking working sabbatical that went deep into cultural immersion, in a developing country. Show notes at www.lisahoashi.com. Follow us!
