| 12th August 2009 Ashley | - From: Traveling around Malampa Province I'm sooo excited to hear you are coming home for Christmas!! Can't wait to see you Marie! Miss you so much! |
| 4th April 2009 Yves | Howdy - From: Wowo i herem olsem hom- feels like home Hi Marie, I wanted to send you a few words and tell you that I am still a regular reader of your blog. Sorry about the kitten, it did look very nice. It must have been hard for you, as I know being pcv can be very lonely. It also happened to one of my PCV friends, but her cat was eaten (it was in Africa), I'm not kidding. Anyway, the pictures are beautiful and such a visual trip ! Here in Monterey things are sleepy as usual. Yuwei Shi is going to be the Dean of the new combined school, which everyone is pretty excited about. The economy still sucks, thank you very much, so your timing was unbelievably good. You'll essentially come back right when thejob market bounced back. Good move ... . Hope all is well. Cheers, Yves ps: of yes and my wife is pregnant. We're going to have a baby in the fall. SO EXCITED |
| 31st March 2009 Seamus | Great Photos - From: Wowo i herem olsem hom- feels like home Hey, great blog. Makes me homesick for Malekula. I've got a few months before I can make it back, but thanks for tellin' the stories till I can get back to make some of my own. If you need anything from the states, drop a line and it'll be there in a few months. Always happy to help the Peace Corps. |

| 15th November 2008 MarieB | Hey - From: Training weeks 4 and 5-halfway done Hey Yves, thanks for the message and the update of what's going on in Monterey. I feel a little disconnected from what's going on in the world haha. I found out about our new president about 3 days after election day ha. So for that it would have been nice to be in the country but other than that I can't complain, I love it here so far. Good luck with finishing up the semester and the job search, keep in touch! PS my training village is full of French army men bc they're helping build a school and they love their short shorts... and hitting on all of us peace corps haha |
| 30th October 2008 yves | Hey - From: Training weeks 4 and 5-halfway done Hey Marie, Thank you for this - and the pictures. I am glad that you seem to be doing well ... and adjusting to kava, which I am told indeed tastes pretty awful. Here things are tagging along, except that it's really cold and my motorcycle does not start in the morning ... fun. Good timing to be in the Peace Corps for 2 years while the economy slides in the worst recession in decades ! I wish I had done the same right now, because I am graduating in December and the job market really sucks. I keep running into Dempsey, who took an unpaid job with Convergent Energy right after the business plan. It seems Michael Griffith is struggling to get some money for CE ... as we expected. So Dempsey is already looking around for other jobs. Keep writing and good luck with the rest of the program. Cheers, Yves |

| 14th October 2008 Lorraine Meehan | An Eye Opener - From: Training Week 2-3 It's wonderful learning about such an interesting place that I would never know about if it wasn't for Marie Barberet and the Peace Corp! I will keep up and look forward to hearing more. Lorraine Meehan |
| 26th September 2008 Steve Carr | Fun - From: Arrival in Vanuatu! Sounds like your having some fun so far. A little different than London I'd say. I just wanted to wish you luck before you head off to the wilderness. |
| 25th September 2008 Yves | - From: Arrival in Vanuatu! Hi Marie, Thanks for sending me the link to this blog. I am glad to see that you are well. Same old here in Monterey, except that people are very up in arms over the planned merger between the business and policy schools. I'll check back later. Take care. Yves |
| 22nd September 2008 Mason | Awesome - From: Arrival in Vanuatu! Great to hear that you're there and doing well! |
