Hey, a Raise is a Raise

Hurrah!  Our Administrative Officer is just like Santa Claus.  If Santa had a dry sense of humor and a secret stash of Slim Jims in his bottom drawer.  Due to runaway inflation and, presumably, the terrifying price of beer these days, Peace Corps Uganda volunteers just got a raise! 

$38/month.

or…approximately $0.24/hour

That actually goes a long way in Uganda.  (30 beers!)  What’s funnier is that the per-hour raise is the same raise that Shanna and I got one summer working at a speedway in Colorado.  Let’s just say it doesn’t go quite as far over there.  At least we had corndogs.
