Bondukuy
Located about an hour north
of Bobo-Dioulasso, (you can find it on a great online map),
Bondukuy is a small village with a CEG (a school at about the level of upper
elementary or middle school). As of 2002, Peace Corps has an education volunteer
there
teaching mathematics.
During the summer training
session of 2001,
a group of new volunteer trainees and their facilitators and staff spent a day
visiting Monica and her village. The trainees got a great sense of what village
life is like and how a volunteer can become part of her community. You can also
see a picture of Monica's house.
