Vhiki yeRunyararo Corps

By Jessica C

Motto yeRugare Corps inoti "Peace Corps ibasa rakaoma raungazomboda," uye haringave rechokwadi. Ndakanga ndaita zvekufamba uye kudzidza kune dzimwe nyika kwemakore uye ndakadzidza nezve Peace Corps apo muchengeti akauya kuyunivhesiti yangu yepasikiriyasi. Ndakabva ndangoziva kuti ndaizopedzisira ndajoinha ndozvipira. Saka, rinenge gore ndapedza kudzidza kukoreji, ndakanyorera. Kuita kwacho kwakatora rinenge gore; uye ipapo mavhiki matatu ndisati ndaenda, ndakaziva kuti ndakanga ndagoverwa kuTanzania kuEast Africa. Ndakanzi ndive mushandi wezveutano. Ndakafara nezvandaizosangana nazvo uye nevanhu vandaizosangana navo. Ndakakumbanira Peace Corps nechishuvo chokufamba, kudzidza zvinhu zvitsva, uye kuzvipira; uye mutambo wacho wakanga woda kutanga.

Pandakasvika muDar es Salaam, kuTanzania muna June 2009, takava nevhiki tichidzidza, ndokubva taenda kunzvimbo yataidzidzisira. Takaenda seboka rerovedzo ravazvipiri vanenge 40. Mukati memwedzi miviri iyoyo, ndakagara nemhuri yakandigamuchira kuti ndidzidze nezvetsika uye ndakapedza 50% yekudzidziswa mumakirasi emutauro nevezera rangu. Zvaishamisa uye zvainakidza. Paive nezvakawanda zvekudzidza uye kubata, kunyanya kana zvasvika pakudzidza Kiswahili (pfungwa dzangu hadzidi kudzidza mitauro yechipiri; ndakaedza kakawanda!). Zvaishamisa kuve pedyo nevazhinji vanofamba zvakanaka uye vanofarira vanozvipira nevashandi (vese vekuAmerican neTanzania).

Nemwedzi miviri yokurovedza shure kwangu, ndakaburutswa (ndoga!) mumusha wangu uyo ​​waizova musha wangu mutsva kwamakore maviri aitevera. Apa ndipo pazvakanetsa zvinhu asi zvakakura kuita rwendo runoshamisa.

Shandisa: Vanhu vanowanzofunga nezvevanozvipira sevanoenda “kunobatsira,” asi handizvo zvinodzidziswa nePeace Corps. Hatitumirwe mhiri kwemakungwa kunobatsira kana kugadzirisa. Vanozvipira vanoudzwa kuti vateerere, vadzidze, uye vabatanidze. Isu tinorayirwa kuti tisaite chero chinhu panzvimbo yedu kwemwedzi mitatu yekutanga kunze kwekuvaka hukama, hukama, kubatanidza, kudzidza mutauro, uye kuteerera kune avo vakatikomberedza. Saka ndizvo zvandakaita. Ndini ndaiva muzvipiri wokutanga mumusha mangu, saka chaiva chiitiko chekudzidza kwatiri tose. Ndakateerera zvaidiwa nevagari vomumusha nevakuru vomumusha uye kuti sei vakanga vanyorera kuti vawane munhu anozvipira. Pakupedzisira, ndakashanda semubatanidza uye muvaki wemabhiriji. Kwakanga kune masangano akawanda omunzvimbomo neasina purofiti aitungamirirwa navagari vemo inongova awa imwe chete kubva muguta riri pedyosa ayo aigona kudzidzisa nokutsigira vagari vomumusha munhamburiko dzavo. Kungoti vazhinji vemuraini mangu havapindi mudhorobha kure kudaro. Saka, ndakabatsira mukubatanidza nekuunza vanhu pamwe chete kuitira kuti musha wangu muduku ubatsirwe uye ubudirire kubva kune zviwanikwa zvatova munyika yavo. Izvi zvaive zvakakosha pakupa simba vagari vemumusha uye kuona kuti mapurojekiti aive akasimba kana ndaenda. Takashanda pamwechete pamapurojekiti asingaverengeki kudzidzisa nharaunda nezvehutano, hutano, hutano, uye bhizinesi. Uye takafara kuzviita!

Upenyu: Pakutanga ndakanetseka nevangu vekutanga chiSwahili asi mazwi angu akakurumidza kukura sezvo ndiwo wandaigona kushandisa kutaura. Ndaifanirawo kudzidza kuita mabasa angu ezuva nezuva nenzira itsva. Ndaifanira kudzidza kuita zvese zvakare. Chiitiko chese chaive chiitiko chekudzidza. Pane zvinhu zvaunotarisira, zvakadai sekuziva kuti hausi kuzova nemagetsi kana kuti unenge uine chimbuzi chegomba chekugezera. Uye pane zvinhu zvausingatarisiri, sekuti mabhaketi anozove chikamu chakakosha mune chingangoita zvese zvaunoita zuva rega rega. Mabhakiti akawanda, akawanda anoshandiswa! Ndakava nezvinoitika zvitsva zvakawanda, zvakadai sokugeza bhakiti, kutakura migomo yemvura mumusoro mangu, kubika pamoto usiku hwoga hwoga, kudya nemaoko angu, kubuda ndisina pepa rechimbuzi, uye kubata navasingadiwi vaunogara navo (tarantulas, zviremwaremwa, mapete). Pane zvakawanda izvo munhu anogona kujaira kugara kune imwe nyika. Handichanetswa nemabhazi akazara vanhu, vaanogara navo vanokambaira vasina kukokwa, kana kushandisa mvura shoma sezvinobvira kugeza (zvishoma zvandaishandisa, zvishoma zvandaifanira kutakura!).

Balance: Ichi ndicho chakanga chakaoma zvikuru. Sezvatiri vazhinji vedu, ndiri munwi wekofi, wekuita-kunyora-mugadziri, anozadza-awa yega-yega-ne-kubereka mhando yegal. Asi kwete mumusha mudiki weTanzania. Ndaifanira kudzidza kunonoka, kuzorora, uye kuvapo. Ndakadzidza nezvetsika dzeTanzania, moyo murefu, uye kuchinjika. Ndakadzidza kuti upenyu haufanire kumhanyiswa. Ndakadzidza kuti nguva dzemisangano izano uye kuti kunonoka kweawa imwe kana maviri kunofungwa nenguva. Zvinhu zvinokosha zvichaitwa uye zvinhu zvisingakoshi zvichapera. Ndakadzidza kugamuchira mutemo wokuvhura gonhi wevavakidzani vangu vachipinda mumba mangu pasina nyevero nokuda kwekurukurirano. Ndakambundikira maawa aipedzerwa padivi penzira ndakamirira bhazi kuti rigadziriswe (panowanzova nechiteshi chiri pedyo kuti ndiwane tii nechingwa chakakangwa!). Ndakakwenenzvera rurimi rwangu ndichiteerera makuhwa kugomba nemamwe madzimai ndichizadza migomo yangu. Kubuda kwezuva kwakava wachi yangu yearamu, kunyura kwezuva kwaiva chiyeuchidzo changu kuti ndigadzirire usiku, uye kudya kwaiva nguva yekubatanidza pamoto. Ndinogona kunge ndakagara ndakabatikana nemabasa angu ese nemapurojekiti, asi paigara paine nguva yakawanda yekungonakidzwa nenguva iripo.

Kubva pandakadzokera kuAmerica muna Nyamavhuvhu 2011, ndichiri kuyeuka zvidzidzo zvandakadzidza kubva mubasa rangu. Ini ndiri mutsigiri mukuru webasa / hupenyu hwepakati nekusimbisa kwakasimba pachikamu chehupenyu. Zviri nyore kunamira mumasilos edu uye zvirongwa zvakabatikana, zvakadaro zvakakosha kuti tidzike, kuzorora, uye kuita zvinhu zvinotiunzira mufaro nekutidzosa kunguva yazvino. Ini ndinoda kutaura nezvekufamba kwangu uye ndine chokwadi chekuti kana munhu wese aive nemukana wekusangana nekugara mutsika isiri yavo, ipapo tsitsi netsitsi zvinogona kuwedzera kutenderera pasirese. Isu tose hatifanirwe kujoina Peace Corps (kunyangwe ini ndinokurudzira zvikuru!) Asi ndinokurudzira munhu wese kuti awane chiitiko ichocho chinovaisa kunze kwenzvimbo yavo yekunyaradza uye kuona hupenyu zvakasiyana. Ndinofara kuti ndakazviita!
