We met at a Madison bar, One Barrel, to share a drink and swap Peace Corps stories. Andrea served from 2012-2014 in Zambia where she taught grades 3-7. Ben served in Tanzania from 2014-2017 where he taught A levels maths. Though we were not on the continent at the same time (Andrea left a few months before Ben arrived), we discovered that our villages are only about 100km apart. That would be one of many small coincides that brought us closer together over the next 3 years.
