Hello! My name is Jillian Kaplan. I'm currently serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in rural Madagascar. I teach EFL (English as a Foreign Language) at a local middle school, and work in a previously established English Center.

I am helping my town raise funds to build a bridge connecting two outlying townships to the main commune. The bridge has three main goals:

1) help students get to school during the rainy season (there are no schools above the elementary level in the two townships)
2) help farmers access the main market to buy and sell goods
3) increase access to the hospital on the main commune.

Feel free to ask my anything about PCV life, Madagascar, or my bridge project.

You can help me by sharing this blog and donation link, or donating directly here:

Misotra Betseka! Thanks so much for reading about my Peace Corps project.
