    E10: Hannah Lefton

    Join the incredible Hannah Lefton and I on her apartment rooftop in Thies, Senegal, where we discuss her experience as a Peace Corps Volunteer. Currently serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer Leader, a third-year extension position in PC, Hannah previously spent two years living in the region of Matam as a health volunteer. Highlighting some of the unique experiences she has had here in Senegal and the many unforgettable relationships she’s forged, this episode is filled with Hannah’s reflections on the important lessons she has learned. Being a beacon of positivity and a true source of inspiration, there is no doubt Hannah will use these lessons and experiences to propel herself forward to make more positive changes in the world. In this regard, following the completion of her service in April, Hannah will be attending the University of Michigan, pursuing graduate studies in law and social work. Take a seat and get ready for a taste of what volunteer life is like in Senegal. Want to share your story with others? Email us at the.three.nomads27@gmail.com to be featured on the next episode!
