The Navy

Last month, Navy groups from all over the world arrived in Samoa, as part of the Pacific Partnership program. The Pacific Partnership strengthens relationships that are vital to deterring regional conflict, improving maritime security, and strengthening disaster response preparedness in Indo-Asia-Pacific Regions. 

I had the opportunity of meeting and spending time with the two groups that were working in Savai'i.

At the end of the opening ceremony, I was interviewed. You can learn more about the Pacific Partnership, as well as read a quote from my interview, here: http://www.navy.mil/submit/display.asp?story_id=74554




I went to the Navy's farewell fiafia, and was presented with gifts by the village because I was a guest.


Peace Corps Volunteers and staff were invited to a reception on the USS Pearl Harbor. One of the many perks of being a PCV.
