My name is Brandon Baca and I am from Albuquerque, NM. I joined the Peace Corps in 2008 after graduating from the University of New Mexico with my B.S. in Psychology. In January 2009, I will be sent to Rwanda and will return to the U.S. in April of 2011. During my 27 months of service I will learn the local language (Kinyarwanda) and perhaps more French and Swahili. Furthermore, I will be assisting the Rwandan government and various health organizations (local and international) in providing appropriate health and HIV/AIDS treatment, care, support, and prevention services to those who need them.
How can one not speak about war, poverty, and inequality when people who suffer from these afflictions don't have a voice to speak? ~Isabel Allende (Chilean author, 1942- )
