Book cover for I Miss the Rain in Africa by Nancy Wesson

Date: Thursday, September 26th
Time: 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Location: Sandy Library Community Room

 

At the age of 64, Nancy stepped out of her comfortable life, shuttered a business and headed to Uganda as a Peace Corps Volunteer. For two-plus years she served a population of post-conflict survivors while working with a literacy organization – living as the locals. Nancy will share some amazing tales about living in a radically different culture – and returning to a life that no longer fit. I Miss the Rain in Africa was awarded the Nautilus Book Award and the Moritz Thomsen Peace Corp Experience Award.
