A Tribute to Bots 10

This week marks another milestone for my group - the first of us to make it to our COS Conference is boarding a plane and heading back to the good ol' U-S-of-A. It is hard to believe we have come so far and are now at this point. One thing I know for sure, long after this Peace Corps experience is through, the faces of my Bots 10 family will be clear in my mind. I will recall all of the times we shared together, however long, and that will be what makes it all so special. So, in tribute to the men and women who took the Peace Corps plunge, I say thank you. Here's to always remembering the 40 members of Bots 10!

To the one that made the grand romantic gesture and never got on the plane (congratulations for marrying the woman of your dreams!)...


To those who didn't make it through PST...



To those who left us early...







To those who made it all the way to COS...



 






And to those who are sticking around for a third year...




As every person in these pictures can attest, it has been one heck of a wild ride. I can't imagine a more wacky, amazing, inspiring, diverse, or thoughtful group to have shared this experience with. While I am sure everyone says it, I really do feel like we have the best group. I am so grateful to each person in it for adding and enhancing this time in Botswana. I love you, Bots 10!
