Beginnings

Greetings from Mother Africa! I hope everyone reading is well and in good spirits. I’m not sure if everyone knows the background to this blog, so we’ll start from the top. My name is Nick Bisley from Gresham, WI USA. I am currently serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in a northwestern province of rural Zambia. The official title of my position is “Rural Aquaculture Extension Agent”. There are about 30 of us from this year’s intake and we work directly with the Zambian Department of Fisheries in an effort to encourage and extend rural fish farming in villages while acting as eyes and ears in the bush for the understaffed agency.
