Fourth of July - Embassy Style!

As Peace Corps began in 1961, this year marks the 50th anniversary! Thus, the U.S. Embassy of Cameroon organized a 1,000+ person celebration party specifically for the organization.

In light of the 50th year, 50 PCVs were invited to attend. It was quite an honor, though little did we know we would be asked to perform a choreographed flash mob dance to "Born in the USA" for all attendees (including the US Ambassador and diplomats!). Hope to get my hands on that video soon!

Happy birthday, Peace Corps!
