Ryan and I chatted via Skype earlier this month about his time in Kenya, where he served as a health volunteer with his wife. I was intrigued by his descriptions of his site, being both very removed from everyone yet connected at the same time. Although he and his wife were placed in a remote community, their house was in close proximity to a cellphone tower, which allowed them to stay in touch with folks back home. As a result, during his time in Kenya, Ryan was able to complete an online Master's degree, and record two albums with his band, Eric and Magill. I am constantly surprised at how much technology has allowed the Peace Corps experience to evolve and change, even in the eight years since I finished my service!
