Letters from Southern Africa: The New Recruits
By Zachery Scott
One week ago the new class of volunteers arrived, fresh off the plane, to begin their 10-week training to qualify for service. It’s hard to imagine that it has been one year since I arrived in this country. So much has happened in only 12 months that it is kind of exciting to watch a new group begin their journey.

Letters from Southern Africa: Go Bark Obama!
A Gay Life in Transition, from Weho to Southern Africa
By Zachery Scott
It's a little after 4am and I have tears in my eyes. In the Peace Corps you have good days and bad days. And this morning I have woken up at 4am to catch the live broadcast of Barack Obama’s acceptance speech in Denver; marking not only a poignant anniversary of the 'I Have a Dream' speech and of Obama’s history-making with his nomination.

Letters From Southern Africa: Puppy Takes a Man
A Gay Life in Transition, from Weho to Southern Africa
By Zachery Scott
Zach's puppy Chrissy has found a boyfriend. At this stage, it's just courting, unlike his mangy slut of a cat Sammy who went night after night and came home bare pawed and preggers. Now Zach's helping to raise her Bastard brood. Yes, life in Southern Africa can occasionally get boring!

Sporno: Ryk Neethling
By Mark Umbach
After the Athens Olympic Games in 2004, he may not be the most popular choice in the U.S., but we’re thinking after the 2008 Beijing Games all may have been forgiven. We’re referring to South African swimming sprinter Ryk Neethling, who back on ’04 helped his country’s 4x100 meter freestyle relay upset the Americans, including Michael Phelps, to take the gold medal. And did we mention that it was South Africa’s first medal in men’s swimming?

Letters from Southern Africa: Tio Zacariah
A gay life in transition, from Weho to Southern Africa
By Zachery Scott
Toward the end of my initial 10-week training last fall, it became known that my health director wanted me to open a site. This means that I would be the first PC volunteer, and possibly the first Westerner, to live and integrate into the community. The resulting isolation can lead to depression and loneliness above and beyond what a regular volunteer might face. I have to admit I was a bit apprehensive.

Letters from Southern Africa: The Long Ride Home
A gay life in transition, from Weho to Southern Africa
By Zachery Scott
Bringing us his adventures from Southern Africa, Peace Corps volunteer Zachery Scott recounts his favorite rides on a Chapa, a passenger van that is intended to fit 15 people but usually packs in 25. Just when you think you have the whole Chapa thing figured out, it throws you a curve ball and knocks you on your ass.
