Every Peace Corps post is different, and each volunteer experience varies in degree from one to the next. But there is one thing that just about all of us have in common: the bucket bath.
In countries where most volunteers serve, water scarcity is an obstacle. And if scarcity isn't the issue, it's still safe to assume that a lack of running water is. That's why when you meet an RPCV, you can easily conclude that he or she is an expert at taking bucket baths.
So what exactly is a bucket bath, and how do you take one?
A bucket bath is a method of maintaining cleanliness that is achieved by using a bucket of standing water, and the objective is to waste as little of it as possible.
First, you'll need a bucket of water. (Or in my case, a basin.) If you're able, you can boil the water first for warmth and added comfort.
Pour a small amount of it into a separate container, so you have a place to dip your hands after shampooing or washing your body. You don't want to let your clean water get soapy or dirty!
Make sure you have a washcloth, looffa, or shower glove available. These items are great for lathering soap, and help a little go a long way.
Personally, I like the shower glove, because the course texture helps remove stubborn, unwanted dirt.
Now you're ready to bathe!
Using your jar or small container, pour some water onto yourself. For long hair, gather as much of it to your head as possible, for maximum wetness with minimal water. If you need to, use more than one helping of water to make sure you've got your whole body. It also helps to use your hands or a washcloth to spread the water around. Remember, you want to waste as little as possible.
Next, shampoo your hair as normal, and when you're finished, dip your hands into the second water basin to rinse them off. Using your washcloth, looffa, or shower glove, clean your body as normal. You can rinse that off in the basin as well.
Now it's time to rinse. Again, using your jar or small container, use however much water you need to properly remove all soap and shampoo.
If you're using a 2in1 for your hair, your bucket bath is complete! Otherwise, repeat steps one through three for conditioner.
Feeling so fresh and so clean, remember to spill your rinsing basin out, and use a little bit of clean water to wash away any remaining soap. If you're able, cover any unused water for future use.
When I arrived home for the first time in nine months, I stood in the center of my childhood bedroom and looked around. Aside from my closet – vacant of my clothes, but overflowing with my sister's – my room was exactly as I remembered it. Everything was in its place; from the tiny trinkets that sit on my dresser, to the piles of paper shoved in a corner, to the post-it notes around my room that were relevant at the time. It was eerie feeling. Old memories flooded back, reminding me of what I thought and felt the last time I was here. Time came to a stand still, and I silently asked myself if the last nine months really happened.
During the next few days, as I moved about my house and the city I know so well, I asked myself the same question. Everything was consistent no matter where I went. Familiar foods filled the pantry, the landscape of my neighborhood was static, and even the billboards appeared unchanged. Behind the wheel of my sister's car, as if I'd been driving my whole life, Jamaica seemed so far away. Surely, it must have been a dream.
Then, slowly, realizations began to flood my mind. Everything looked the same, and for a short time, felt the same, but there was one glaring difference that couldn't be denied: I was not the same. A timid girl lived here before – a girl who dreamed of great adventures, yet panicked at the idea of failure. A girl who possessed incredible potential, but lacked the confidence to tap it. A girl who took so much for granted.
Everywhere I looked, my perspective changed, but some things stood out more than others. There was a developed appreciation for supermarkets and the wide variety of choices available (21 different kinds of Oreos, 16 flavors of coffee creamer, and an entire isle devoted to breakfast cereal), a recognizable advancement in the use of everyday technology (I barely remembered how to use a Smartphone), and the overwhelming joy of not having to be home before dark. I also learned that going to the movies is a beautiful thing, and one should never, ever skimp on popcorn.
And yet for every day that I was home, feeling a little more like a guest and less like a member of the house, I couldn't wait to get back to my own life. They say home is where the heart is, but what happens when your heart keeps questioning the things that make it beat? Is it possible, or even normal, to love your home and want to leave it at the same time? Will I be able to find the balance between chasing my adventurous dreams and accepting what is safe and familiar?
As I enter this next segment of my service – indicated by the block of time before I'll visit home again – I have to remind myself of a few things. The first is that nothing at home really changed, and it's not likely that things will before my two years are up. If I were to quit and go home now (those feelings still occasionally plague me), I can safely assume I'll fall right back into my old routine and experience the same feelings of suffocation that drove me to join Peace Corps in the first place. The second thing I need to remember is that I have too many good ideas for projects to stop now, and the only way I'll learn from them, is to actually do them.
Finally, there is this: When I began this journey (which sometimes feels like a lifetime ago, and other times feels like yesterday), I didn't know who I would be when I finished. I still don't who I will be, but I do know who I am, and I know that I'm not done yet. I'm not satisfied with my short list of accomplishments; I want more. I don't think I've learned all the lessons I'm supposed to learn, and at this point in my service, I'm still not the person I want to be.
Unfortunately, you can't speed up time. You can't rush the growing process either. I have eighteen months left of service (oh yes, I'm counting), which means that I get another eighteen months of overcoming challenges and obstacles, and learning from them. This is quite possibly the truest test of my character; will I make it to the end, or won't I? How I handle this determines how I handle the rest of my adult life.
And if there is one thing that I do know about myself – something I've proven over and over, and over again – it's that I am one determined son of a b****. If I want it, I don't stop until I have it. I hate quitting, and if ever I've stuck it out and made it to the end, I've always been proud of myself.
One of the most remarked about traits of a Peace Corps Volunteer is our ability to adapt. There are the obvious things; language, culture, and food. Then there are the less discernible things, among them being our attitude toward a lack of resources. Back in America, if a person needs an end table for their couch, or a tiki torch for their patio, they're simply going to go to a store and pick one up. But in the Peace Corps, it's not that easy. For one thing, we have our budget to consider. For another, lack of personal transportation makes carrying these items a challenge. And finally, in our deep rural communities, sometimes what we need can't even be found.
And so we make do.
The Peace Corps has, by no intention of its own, produced a group of creative individuals, capable of taking every day objects and turning them into something new. In Jamaica, there is a phrase for that – tun ya han, mek fashion – and the locals here could teach us a thing or two. Regardless, we've got plenty of ingenuity to go around.
In a recent post on her own blog, another PCJ Volunteer asked us to submit pictures and descriptions of our crafts, and I was widely impressed by what I saw. It's nice to know I'm in the company of such creative people! Below, I've included a list of some of my own tun ya han, mek fashion items, but I highly recommend you check out these other crafty items too!
Created by cutting strips of cardboard, and gluing them in a shoebox lid.
Litter scoops – These are water bottles, cut to suit my need. I've got one for scooping the nasties and another for scooping the sand I have to put in.
Sock buddy – worn out sock, scrap yarn, and stuffed with… can you guess?
The individual letter wheels are made from Pringles Cans, a very small amount of poster board, and some clear tape. The inside is obviously a water bottle.
I saved my cereal boxes and cut them up. I used a bit more of my poster board to create a white space, but you could just as easily use the brown side alone.
Made with fifteen to twenty scandal bags (and there's still plenty to spare!), two elastic hair ties, and crocheted together to make a scandal bag dispenser.
My mouth is watering. Or at least it would be, if I were in America. Bombarded all month long with reminders that Thanksgiving has finally arrived, I would eagerly be awaiting that traditional Thursday morning when Mom and I would cook the turkey in our pajamas while watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I would've already purchased a bag of marshmallows to coat the top of Nana's sweet potato pie. The green bean casserole would have been made the night before, and a box of Mallomars would be stashed away, hidden, so we'd have them all for dessert. Some time around noon, after most of the work has been done, my sister would finally roll out of bed and monitor our progress with disheveled hair.
My Thanksgiving was ripe with tradition. Accompanied by a delicious, once-a-year meal and surrounded by friends and family, there's no wonder why I count it among my favorite holidays.
But over the years, in small doses at a time, Thanksgiving began to change. A divorce cut our guest list in half. Black Friday began earlier and earlier, until it eventually spilled over to Thursday, causing our family (who would not, under any circumstances, wait outside a store at 4am) significant distress. And the Radio City Rockettes were losing their luster.
Luster or not, my eyes still tear up when these girls start kicking!
And then one fateful year, I joined the Peace Corps, and all tradition flew out the window. While it's difficult for me to think about missing Thanksgiving, it's even more distressing to imagine my family, who must feel as though my departure was like the having the rug swept out from under their feet.
I suppose it makes a Thanksgiving-less November easier to deal with when I consider that my oven will not host a turkey this year. Or that I am not missing out on sweet potato pie.
Still, I feel an overwhelming sadness for them, and a crushing sense of pressure. While on the one hand, I feel honored that my presence carries that much weight at the dinner table, I am afflicted by the knowledge that my choices and decisions have made such an impact. For my family, Thanksgiving has drastically deviated from the norm.
Although tradition has slipped and family unity does not count for much this year, no one is going to be sitting home alone and feeling sorry for themselves, least of all me. This year, we'll all be venturing our separate ways, but we'll be in the company of close friends. That definitely counts for something.
My plans include celebrating Thanksgiving with my government-issued friends – who are beginning to feel a little more like family – in the style of a potluck dinner at a cottage on the beach. I doubt we're going to have a turkey, but there will be a pumpkin pie. I know at least one volunteer is making stuffing, I am responsible for cinnamon poached apples, and of course, the essentials will be present; namely wine.
It will be different to celebrate a traditional American holiday in a country that is not my own, without my family, and with friends I only met a few months ago. But I don't think any of that matters. These friends have been become my crutch, my anchor. Though some of us are at different stages of our service, and all of us come from different backgrounds, we all have one thing in common; we're Peace Corps Volunteers. We've made sacrifices to follow a dream and achieve some good. We knowingly traded our comforts for something unknown and wild. We'll all be thinking of our families this Thursday, and we'll all feel a little homesick, but I think it's safe to say that the choices we've made are worth the things we're giving up. I wouldn't trade my Peace Corps experience for anything in the world. I am exactly where I want to be at this point in my life. And in the spirit of giving thanks, I can be grateful for just that.

Nobel Laureate, Cancer Expert to...
Harold Varmus, M.D., an expert in cancer biology and former director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and National Cancer Institute (NCI), will speak at 8:30 a.m. March 12 at UAMS.
Nobel Laureate, Cancer Expert to Give Distinguished Lecture
By Amy Widner
Feb. 19, 2019 | The public is invited to hear Nobel laureate Harold Varmus, M.D., an expert in cancer biology and former director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and National Cancer Institute (NCI), at 8:30 a.m. March 12 at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS).
The free lecture, "Cancer Research: Then and Now," will be held in the I. Dodd Wilson Education Building auditorium. Varmus is giving the Robert E. McGehee Jr., Ph.D., Distinguished Lectureship in Biomedical Research as part of the UAMS Graduate School's annual Student Research Day.
Varmus and his colleague J. Michael Bishop received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1989 for their cancer research, which demonstrated that certain cancer genes can arise from normal cellular genes through mutations. Their work deepened the understanding of cancer development and made way for new types of cancer therapy.
In 1993, Varmus was nominated by President Bill Clinton to serve as director of the NIH, a post he held until 1999. He then served as president of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York. He returned to public service in 2010 under President Barack Obama as director of the NCI. He left the NCI in 2015 for his current post as the Lewis Thomas University Professor and Senior Adviser to the Dean and Provost at Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York.
He has authored more than 350 scientific papers and five books, including the 2009 memoir, "The Art and Politics of Science." At his Weill Cornell research lab, Varmus continues to study cancer biology and retrovirology.
The McGehee Distinguished Lectureship was created in 2011 as an enduring gift from an anonymous couple to benefit UAMS and the state by making it possible to invite leading biomedical researchers to share their knowledge and work with students and faculty.
"I could not have imagined — only hoped — when this distinguished lectureship began that we would be able to host someone of Dr. Varmus' stature in the scientific community," said McGehee, namesake for the lecture and dean of the UAMS Graduate School. "I'm delighted for our students and the public to have this opportunity to hear from someone who has so directly shaped medicine and health policy in the United States."
UAMS is the state's only health sciences university, with colleges of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Health Professions and Public Health; a graduate school; hospital; a main campus in Little Rock; a Northwest Arkansas regional campus in Fayetteville; a statewide network of regional campuses; and seven institutes: the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute, Jackson T. Stephens Spine & Neurosciences Institute, Harvey & Bernice Jones Eye Institute, Psychiatric Research Institute, Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging, Translational Research Institute and Institute for Digital Health & Innovation. UAMS includes UAMS Health, a statewide health system that encompasses all of UAMS' clinical enterprise including its hospital, regional clinics and clinics it operates or staffs in cooperation with other providers. UAMS is the only adult Level 1 trauma center in the state. U.S. News & World Report named UAMS Medical Center the state's Best Hospital; ranked its ear, nose and throat program among the top 50 nationwide; and named six areas as high performing — cancer, colon cancer surgery, heart failure, hip replacement, knee replacement and lung cancer surgery. UAMS has 2,727 students, 870 medical residents and five dental residents. It is the state's largest public employer with more than 10,000 employees, including 1,200 physicians who provide care to patients at UAMS, its regional campuses, Arkansas Childrens Hospital, the VA Medical Center and Baptist Health.

Einstein's theory of relativity, the quantum theory, and the cosmology of Stephen Hawking, famous outposts of human imagination, are parts of a vast realm of knowledge and mystery that we call physics. This realm includes the foundations for all of the natural sciences. It extends from the structure of the atomic nucleus, to the fundamental processes taking place in living cells, to the large-scale structure and evolution of the whole universe. This realm is well-traveled by the physicist, yet every path leads to uncharted territory. To know physics in depth is to understand the deepest things known about the structure of space, time, matter, and the laws that govern natural phenomena, as well as to experience the frontiers of the human quest.
A physics major is a challenging undertaking. Our program for majors at Lewis & Clark involves a two-year introductory sequence, followed by advanced courses in classical dynamics, quantum mechanics, and electricity and magnetism. In addition, we offer a selection of elective courses that varies from year to year. In the introductory courses, you will have wonderful opportunities for close faculty interaction. In the upper-division classes, these interactions deepen, the classes assume more of a seminar format, and individualized assignments and projects are possible.
It is best to start a physics major in your first year. You may also start in the second year, but you'll need to double up on the advanced courses in your senior year. The flexibility of our course scheduling enables students to take advantage of the College's overseas study program.
An important part of the physics program is collaborative summer research between faculty and students. This work is supported by both internal and external grants, and pays students a stipend plus living expenses. Students who excel in their coursework may be invited to engage in this activity, which frequently leads to publication in research journals. Students coauthor and present papers at national meetings of the professional societies in physics, biophysics, and astronomy.
Our students secure internships at research universities and laboratories. In recent years, students have done summer internships at MIT, Columbia University, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, University of Colorado, University of Utah, and Tektronix. One student took an academic semester plus a summer research internship at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Some students continue to do collaborative research during the academic year. Students may also propose research projects of their own, to be carried out in their junior and senior years. Those who qualify are invited to do an honors thesis during their senior year.
Awards won by physics majors
Our students are recognized nationally. Nearly all physics majors at Lewis & Clark go on to careers or further study involving physics. Some take research positions in private industry or in government service. Others pursue teaching careers at the secondary or college level. Many of our majors go on to graduate school for additional training, in physics, engineering, or computer science.
Our majors are accepted into graduate programs across the country, including the University of Wisconsin, the University of Washington, and the University of California at Berkeley. Our top students secure prestigious fellowships from NSF, NASA, and the Hertz Foundation.

Perfect Web Browser for iPad was recommended to me over on Google+. I resisted the urge to try it as Safari, for the most part, is a perfectly competent browser and, at £2.99, I didn't see the point in paying for something that the iPad can already do very well.
Of course the lure of new and shiny got the better of me and I soon found myself navigating around the interwebs on a new browser!
First impressions are good. Perfect Web Browser comes with a raft of very useful features (see the full list below) which make browsing that little bit easier. "Proper" tabs are supported as are multi-touch gestures for changing tabs, navigating forward and backward, for closing full-screen mode and more besides.
I particularly like the ability to tweak the font size via a quick drop down menu. I'm always doing that in Chrome and really miss it when on the iPad and using Safari.
One other notable feature I like is the inclusion of a desktop browser rendering option. The drop down list lets you select between Mobile Safari (this is the default), Safari iPad, Safari iPhone, Safari Mac, Firefox 3.6, IE6, 7 & 8, Opera 10.5 and Chrome.
Has it replaced Safari on my iPad?
No. There are a couple of reasons for this.
It crashes from time to time. Within the first half day it had crashed three times. It needs some work to make it more stable.
Perfect Web Browser isn't "perfect" but it's not bad. Some tweaking to make it more stable should see it become a very good browser.
Perfect Web Browser is available in the app store for £2.99 on the iPad. It's also available for the iPhone, albeit for an additional cost of £0.69.


Harriet Estelle Turner was born in Seattle, Washington in 1920, and lived most of her life in Seattle. She attended Roosevelt High School and the University of Washington, where she received a Master's Degree in Anthropology. She interviewed several Snoqualmie Tribal Elders and subsequently wrote a book "Ethnozoology of the Snoqualmie." Harriet Turner was a beloved Elder and Honorary Snoqualmie Indian Tribal Member. She was pivotal in the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe's Re-Recognition by the Federal Government in 1997, which was finalized in 1999. She supported the Tribe's efforts in protecting Sacred Snoqualmie Falls. Of special interest was establishing the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe's Traditional fishing rights.
Harriet is preceded in death by her parents Charles and Stella Turner. She is survived by her brother Charles Turner of Seattle, Washington and her daughter Diana Turner and granddaughter Marina Ohlmann of Sequim Washington.
Final resting place is at Purdy & Walters at Floral Hills in Lynnwood, Washington.

Easter is the premier holiday, and Semana Santa (Holy Week) is a time when most all express their faith, bringing the nation to a standstill. Spanish-style street processions take place every day of the week before Easter, to dramatize all stages of Christ's way to the cross, crucifixion, and resurrection. Small villages have their own way of celebrating, and they add to the occasion the blessing of oxcarts, horses and trucks. Families everywhere prepare "dulce de chiverre" (sweet preserves), "arroz con leche" (sweet rice), "tamal mudo," eggnog, quesadillas, "rosquillas: and "polvorones," and special dishes with seafood.
Another religious celebration is the pilgrimage to the Basilica de los Angeles in Cartago city, in honor of the Virgin of the Angels. During this holiday many people walk to the city from all parts of the country, in order to pay a "promise" to the Virgin (when she answered a prayer) or to renew their faith. Some believers travel for days or even weeks in order to reach their destination and to honor the Virgin. Even though some Costa Ricans decide to party during religious celebrations, they still prefer the company of their family.
Independence Day is the most significant non-religious holiday in Costa Rica. Every town has its own formal official celebration including parades of young children, music bands and majorettes. People carry the national flags and wear the national colors of red, blue and white.

Wide public recognition and honorable speakers at this exhibition presented a wide spectrum of topics about the latest market trends, issues relating to real estate acquisition and investing into various projects.

Freedom of religion means that we all have the freedom to observe whatever religion we wish. That is what has made this country great for all of the time it has been a nation. However, with ignorant displays as this will detail, to Fox News, freedom of religion means freedom for Christians to practice their traditions, not freedom of religion for everybody else, and to them, there is no freedom of religion for people who choose not to believe. This we already know.
Being tolerant doesn't mean you have to agree. It means that you recognize that other people besides you live here in this country and that your work isn't to convert the entire country over to your point of view.

Sue's Story: Living without status
Homelessness cannot be solved without changing hostile policies. Such policies are often the direct cause of people's homelessness. They deny homeless people a safety net that could prevent them from becoming homeless in the first place.
Citizens UK are campaigning for a just and humane system in which everyone has access to housing and welfare support to keep people safe and protect them from cold, hunger and destitution. Everyone deserves to have a roof over their heads and a place they can call home.
Our Asks
Suspension of No recourse to public funds (NRPF)
NRPF is a government policy that denies people living and working in the UK crucial forms of support from the government simply because of where they were born, and the immigration papers they have. We have been championing free access to health services for all, including people who are undocumented or have NRPF condition attached to their status and have campaigned to stop the Government's plans to deport people who are rough sleeping.
We've recently had big wins including persuading the Government to waive expensive and unjust Citizenship fees for some children and to provide Free School Meals to children whose parents have no recourse to public funds.
Everyone In
We have been calling on the Government to extend the "Everyone In" initiative to provide safe and suitable accommodation to keep everyone safe.
This is a campaign for Government funding as investment into building homes for single homeless people. We are championing modular housing to deliver high-quality housing in a cost-effective and timely manner on temporary sites. Contact your local Chapter to enquire about setting up housing in your area.
Key Facts and Figures
During the Covid-19 pandemic 90% of all homeless people were housed. For the first time, people with No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) received housing support.
Between a quarter and a third of the UK's rough sleepers are estimated to be from a migrant background.
The Still Out There report estimated that, of the homeless population in London, 25% are LGBTIQ+.
In London approximately 50-60% of rough sleepers housed in emergency accommodation during the pandemic have no access to welfare support system due to NRPF conditions attached to their immigration status.
The Government pledged to halve rough sleeping by 2022 and end it by 2027. They made a recent announcement that they would provide 6,000 homes for the homeless by 2021 (3,300 new homes expected in 2020).

After many years I have my own place, I don't share it with anyone. I have a bathroom and small kitchen and a bedroom. In the kitchen I have put everything in its place, I can leave out my toothbrush and soap, [knowing] no one [is] going to steal it. My fridge has food from donations I get and I can cook for myself. This is temporary, I don't know how long for I have this, and I'm worried about going back out onto the streets. Lukas, One Roof Leicester
People sleeping rough with NRPF are the most vulnerable. They have no means of supporting themselves financially, so are seen as easy prey and are at risk of human traffickers, being exploited for forced labour and modern slavery. Quite literally, people are risking their lives and have no safety net. We see this in the work we do at Caritas Anchor House, and support Citizens UK's campaign to end NRPF for good and stop homelessness Megan Stewart, Assessment Hub Manager at Caritas Anchor House
With the incidence of Covid-19 infections rising again across the country, this is not the time to risk more people ending up living on the street or in precarious accommodation. This is clearly a public health issue. The general health of the street homeless is poor and this will make them more susceptible to serious complications if they get infected with Covid. Dr Isobel Rosenstein, Harrow Citizens
A brief history of the campaign
Housing and homelessness was voted as the second most pressing issue for the London Mayoral Campaign in 2019.
In October 2019, homelessness GP outreach services saw GPs delivering health checks in hostels and on the streets of Redbridge, London.
Following this, local leadership teams engaged with their local authorities, inviting them to a Homelessness Summit in March 2020. Over 100 people attended.
By May, the east London homelessness campaign had grown into a national campaign to suspend NRPF for homeless people during the Covid-19 pandemic.
In June 2020, at the height of the pandemic, the campaign engaged Housing Minister Robert Jenrick MP, asking for extended support for people with NRPF. This was done through social media – with videos and testimonies.
100 organisations have signed a letter to Robert Jenrick MP applauding the #COVID19 decision to offer emergency accommodation to people who are street homeless. We're now looking to long term solutions. Let's stop thousands ending up back on the streets👉🏻https://t.co/Fpt09xpXwR pic.twitter.com/IwnSo4Z5TD

The SHC (Salvation, Hill Group and Citizens) Partnership was launched in November 2020. They will be building 200 homes for single homeless people across the country on temporary use sites. £6 million will be invested in this project. Find out how you can work with us to develop modular homes in your area by contacting your local Chapter.

October 2013 Granite Schools
Emily Rounds' social and emotional learning (SEL) classes at Carl Sandburg Elementary are making strides in developing abilities and enhancing their school environment.
Every week, the two SEL classes combine with sixth-graders for a social experience activity aimed at improving essential life skills.
"We look for service projects in our school that we can assist with while working on social skills, such as collaboration, teamwork, communication, and problem-solving," Rounds said.
Among the favorite activities is Red Friday – an project in which students make and wear red necklaces every Friday to show support for military personnel. As Sandburg has a high number of military families, this particular exercise has become hugely successful.
Other projects include assisting the principal in designing and distributing posters that stress good behavior and academic achievement.
Overall, Rounds' students are successfully learning social skills while serving their school community at the same time.
