Jilib in 1966

Grant those are the Gosha people right?
Anyway apart from the English lesson are you sure you were not a juniour member of the CIA?

Gosha, yes.

I had only very rare contact with other PC people and was never "de-briefed" by anyone. What would I have been snitching on?

We were in the country teaching and building schools, at the request of the government. There were fewer than 100 of us, total, who served mostly for two year periods between 1962 and 1970. We were paid $25 a month in "resettlement allowance" and llived on $100 US a month while in-country.

Patriot,

Your conjectures are offensive.

I was there as the guest of the Somali Government, representing the Peace Corps and the highest ideals of the Kennedy Administration. I believe we all acted accordingly. I know I tried to. The half-Italian girl was a married woman. Somali women were not running to jump in my bed.

On those rare occasions I had sex, it was paid for; usually arranged by a government official (yes!), or a friend. I can't say I am proud of any of it; sex outside marriage is not part of my religious heritage, either.

Thanks Grant for sharing ..amazing photos

Amazing pictures Grant,

Are you familiar with the author Gerald Hanley?

We needed a lot of teachers like yourself and as I've heard the Somali people were happy to have you and were eager to learn as much as they could to truly become independant. Unfortunately almost 5 decades later, we have barely moved forward as a people.

Please ignore patriot and the likes.

We flew from Aden to Hargeisa, spent several days at Tallex. Back to Hargeisa, then south to Hamar, Kismayu, Jilib. On other trips I got to Eyl, Dhuusamareb, Beledweyn, Merka, Afgoi, Baraawe. I spent a few days in Shangaani, but never really did get to know Mog.

1966-67

It seemed longer than it actually was.

The song back then was:

"Manta, manta, manta wa malintii, manta!"

Folks were poor and illiterate, but we were all involved in nation-building, and we all got along. We did NOT discuss qabiil or religion.
