Vania: We'll Miss You, Girl!

The Peace Corps lost a good one this week: Vania Land, a fellow city girl from Chicago, who has returned home to happier pastures. Vania is a social worker with an accomplished record back home who came to help abused girls here in the Philippines. She made an impression on all of us, Filipino and American alike, and we will miss her!

Vania decided to return home to pursue a more active role in development in the U.S.-- and will likely open and operate her own home for abused American kids someday. Wish her luck! :)

Bye Vania! We'll miss ya back here in the land of Jeepneys, frying pork and Crazy Fils. Check out classic Vania. We will miss you and your silly little laugh!
