    Great video! I would like to see a video where you interview locals and get their perception, understanding, and opinion of Peace Corps, and international volunteers in general.

      Thanks Emily! You're right, that would be interesting for me too.

    A video about the biggest challenges would be cool

      Ah, you're so right. Would definitely give a different perspective. There are challenges I anticipated, and challenges I wouldn't have realized.

    Love your videos. Such good production! I’m leaving for Uganda in November (2019), and these really help give insight. Cheers!

    I think your goal of sharing Guinea with America is great! I'm in an African Politics class this semester, so I've been hooked on everything Africa. I have never had any exposure to anything African before, so your videos are a great resource.
    I'd love videos on the political climate in Guinea, and the Guineans' perception on various topics such as religion.
    Katharine's story sent me!

      Hey, I'm really glad that these are helping you! Be sure to share them with others in your class 🙂
      Politics or religion are both good ideas, though in the village I'm so far detached from actual politics that I'm not sure I could really do that one justice

    Do you necessarily have to have experience as a teacher in the states or anywhere else to be placed in the sector of teaching for peace corps ?

    • @ColtBradley
      @ColtBradley  5 років тому

      Not necessarily! But having some professional experience to draw from is definitely useful.

      @ColtBradley  6 років тому

      Hey congrats! And thank you 🙂 so I was a professional photographer before Peace Corps, so I had camera gear already. I shoot on a 5d iv mostly. But I'd definitely recommend you bring any camera! It's a great way to show offyour community and meet goal three!
      Let me know what else you're curious about, they're great video ideas!

    Ahh flip flops and coffe in the middle of a field under a Tree 🌳 ahh this brings peace to the world! While flying my Government Drone over the area and sending live video feed via the internet to my commander, I feel as if I am doing my part to bring peace to this world 🌎. Next comes in the rockets after I painted my targets with a laser from my Drone. I really feel as if I have accomplished something showing this small country that we really love them!

      The Peace Corps is specifically a program for US Citizens, but perhaps India has a similar program!

    Are you usually by yourself when volunteering or do you go to villages as a group?

    • @ColtBradley
      @ColtBradley  6 років тому

      We're almost always sent to the village alone. Rarely people might be sent with one other person or might have people placed near by
