My son is currently working for Americorps! After a two year stint with the Peace Corps in Tanzania. But at least now he is living within 20 miles from our house and working in our state (MO.)

He is down south now working on burning stuff! It sounds very interesting!

Sorry to hear they could be on the chopping block now. They do such good "boots on the ground" work that really helps people and the land!
