Joann Munoz served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Namibia from October 1998 to November 2000 in the education sector. She was trained in-country and assigned to work as a teacher trainer in primary schools. Her language training was in Oshikwanyama, a dialect of Oshiwambo, which is spoken by the largest tribe in the country. Munoz experienced and adapted to many challenges during her time in Namibia, including having to evacuate from her first assignment to another location because her village was too close to the border of a neighboring country where a civil war was taking place. She also discusses difficulty in being accepted by some of the local people and how she became ill due to a Lyme-like disease near the end of her term and had to be medically evacuated to a hospital in South Africa.
