Imagine giving up two years of a comfortable life in America and traveling to a land where electricity, in-door plumbing, and the English language are scarce. In exchange for these two years, you'll discover how to be resourceful, accept failure and slow starts, and realize that there are more similarities between two cultures than you originally imagined.
See the Peace Corps experience through the eyes of the volunteers who live it, and the people whose lives have been forever changed by their presence.
you guyz are always welcome to gambia always
I was a volunteer in The Gambia back in '97-'98. Nicely done on the video. It was great to see some local scenes from The Smiling Coast.
thanks to you
thanks for the upload this is beautiful to see what humans can do for each other.
Peace Corps,thank you so much for moving The Gambia forward
Hi all! Thanks so much for the support on the video. I would like to take this opportunity to write that comments that are abusive towards a specific gender or ethnicity will be deleted. Peace Corps works within different nations to teach skills and share friendship with the people we serve. In order to create successful projects, we work with the leaders in the community (male and female). Peace Corps Volunteers do not encourage division or hatred. Thank you for watching!
@ThePlanetfree Hey, Josh is referring to Moringa, known locally in The Gambia as Nevadie (Never Die), because the plant is notoriously hard to kill off once it grows. And it's a good thing, because, as Josh mentioned, the nutritional benefits of Moringa are many.

I am wondering, what plant did Josh Johnson mention 09:38 ? I couldn't get the name...
has more calcium than milk and more potassium than banana.
Nebedayo (Moringa oleifera)
Is there anyone who is able to invest in a huge idea which is feeding the gambia... Start a nonprofit business that is just a food share there type of thing? Cause I have th right plan that can be used to feed them all and for free... Tax wright off and all that for the investor.? Get at me I am easy to find.
