http://taylorgoestonamibia.blogspot.com/ Taylor Whittaker, my new sitemate, replacing the amazing Grace Paulsen here in Khorixas.

http://williapg.wordpress.com/  Blog by Pamela Williams, a health volunteer from group 35 (a year before mine), which is represented Namibia in a Peace Corps blog competition.

http://mynamibianodyssey.blogspot.com/ This is Kaitlynn Jones, a girl from my training group who lives in Kamanjab, in the Kunene region (same as me), where she works at the local clinic.

http://theoryxchronicles.blogspot.com/  This is Johanna Jacobsen, a volunteer in what we call "O Land".  Note: her blog contains music.

http://cjspeacecorpsnamibiaadventure.blogspot.com/ CJ Woods' blog from the Kavango region.

http://anamibianexperience.blogspot.com/  Crystal Bright, also in the Kunene region with me, living in the next town over, working for KAYEC, an after school program.

http://aliciainthepeacecorps.wordpress.com/ Alicia Martinez, also working for KAYEC, living in a small village near Windhoek.

*http://simplyintentional.wordpress.com/ From Jedd and Michelle Chang, a PCV couple in Jamaica, which won the "Blog it Home" contest, I believe.  Gives a different perspective on PC since it's from people serving as a couple, rather than as individual PCVs.

* http://jenandjoshinethiopia.blogspot.com/ Another PCV couple, finished 2nd in the contest.  Joshua Cook and Jennfer Klein, serving in Ethiopia.

*http://klinesc.blogspot.com/ 3rd place finisher, Sarah Kline's blog from Thailand.

*http://stonecactuses.wordpress.com/ Jessica Lavash, serving in Mexico, finished in 4th.

**http://www.grassrootsoccer.org/ Not a blog, but a wonderful resource for any PCV out there, or anyone working in the field of HIV/AIDS, malaria, or working with children at all.

**http://stompoutmalaria.org/ Again, not a PCV blog, but still a great resource.
