Good Food and Good Company

Group 5 (Health and Education) Volunteers of Peace Corps Ethiopia are getting ready to wrap up their final last couple of months in Ethiopia. Usually this includes saying goodbye to friends, co-workers and sometimes “adopted” families and finishing up any work related projects.  Perhaps, the hardest goodbyes are those said to fellow Peace Corps Volunteers (PCVs) we spent 2 years with. The group 5 PCVs of Tigray, Ethiopia decided we were going to go out with a celebration. So “Pig-Fest” was held!  Yes, there was a Pig that was slaughtered and spit roasted over a fire, along with a few other wonderful home cooked delights. While Peace Corps (PC) may not be one of the easiest jobs anyone will ever have it certainly is one of the most rewarding experiences.


Below are a few pictures of “Pig Fest” and saying goodbyes
