Katie Murray, Class of 2008, Peace Corps volunteer.
Katie writes: "I am doing really well over here in Benin, West Africa. My post is in the
south, right outside the city of Bohicon. My village (Lissezoun) is great and away from the hustle and bustle, but I can access the city in an easy 15-minute bike ride.
