Words of Wisdom from a Kentuckian

Many of you know that I was rather disappointed that PC Indonesia isn't the roughin' it that I thought it'd be, so I was really encouraged to come across this quote on Will and Amy's blog:

"A country that is on the developmental rise like Indonesia isn't exactly a stereotypical Peace Corps country; which makes this such an exciting time to be here as the students that we are teaching have greater opportunities than ever before in this country and places an even great importance on learning English."

- Will Glasscock, PCV Indonesia 2012-2014
