I would like to compile a list for publication here of all Peace Corps Guinea related blogs. If you are a PCV or RPCV and you maintain a blog that might be of general interest to FOG members (it doesn’t necessarily have to focus entirely on Guinea or the Peace Corps), please leave your name, years of service and link in the comment field here.

Additionally, if you have any interesting stories from your time in Guinea that you’d like to share or short fiction with Guinea or Africa as a setting, please email it (don’t leave it in the comments) to: [email protected]
