Thirteen of our training group of 30 were assigned to be teacher of English as a foreign language in Senegal in 1963.
Peace Corps enabled me to get my MAT in French so I could teach French in Secondary Schools; I taught TEFL in Senegal. It has also been central in my non-profit educational organization called Intercultural Dimensions which provides cross cultural awareness through Travel, Community Service, Seminar and Workshops. The Travel is to Senegal where we have kept up our ties since 1965. We take participants from all over the world to spend time in Senegal with us and to do field work and volunteer projects.
