From the Shelves of D-10


It has been a challenge these past two years,  giving up constant internet access when I return every night to our home lovingly referred to as TacBloc. But the afternoons and nights spent without the latest tv series or the most recent social media post have allowed me to explore an amazing amount of books that have been gathered over the years by generations of former JVs. The following is a list of stories I have had the joy of finishing, as I laze away the hours in a hammock or on our red leather couch. All are reads I highly recommend!

Well, in JVC’s case, it’s more like the family they choose for you. And I’m not talking about host families — that could be an entire post in and of itself — I’m talking about community .   When you commit to JVC International you are not just committing to two years of service, you also commit your life to at least three other strangers who will spend the next year or two years together with you. In a foreign setting, especially in Tacna this means they are about the only three other Americans you’ll see in town (although a casual run in with Mormons has become a common occurrence).   Enjoying our homemade, hodge-podge Thanksgiving feast.

I spot the panadería on the narrow street, the tienda on the highway with its typical two customers drinking beer at the table outside. I sit in the back of the bus, the window blessedly open. It's the best place to be so that I can watch both the passing scenery and the other passengers.   A phrase   my mother said to me comes like a lighting strike: “You don’t know if you’ll ever go back.” These words might seem sad or pessimistic, but it’s true — she has lived this reality as have so many other migrants of this world.   I find myself thinking of all the things I have done and worse, all the things I promised myself I would do: a sunrise hike on the dunes, a basketball game in the neighborhood next to ours, saying goodbye to my nine-year-old neighbors. My list goes on and on and as the bus jostles its way to my house, one last time, I am overwhelmed by the reality of endings. Who was the Camila of two years ago? What is the

                                                                        Although Tacna, Peru may be an urban city, stretching far out into the desert, my neighborhood of Habitat remains a tranquil suburb on the outskirts. As long as no one has decided to throw a “tono” in their house and blast reggaeton music until our windows shake, most evenings are quiet affairs, with only the sound of the neighborhood cats and dogs breaking the silence. Weekends in our house are a pleasant escape from the hustle and bustle of work and one of us will inevitably take up residence on our worn, red-velvet couch that sits below the living room window. We often take weekend siestas to the sounds of children playing in the street, dogs barking, and the rumble of trucks driving down the PanAmerican highway a few blocks over. But there are some sounds that come floating in through the open window that send us running frantically to the door. These are the calls of our caseros and caseras who come by in trucks, bicycles, and even on foot, selling their wares. Each pe
