New Traditions

Over the past 2 years there has been A LOT of changes in PC staff and policies here in Moldova. With that, a lot of PCVs have left before completing their services...whether they left by their own choices or not. 

PC Moldova has a bell ringing ceremony for people who make it to their COS (Close of Service) dates. But, since so many PCVs leave before their times, some of us decided to start a new tradition: squeezing the pig. So, for those who don't complete their services, by choice or not, they can now squeeze the pig for a final farewell. :o]

Above is our "crew": Aana, Scott, me, Nate, and Rosie. Scott was the first to get to squeeze the pig. Farewell Scott...we miss you! See you on the other side!!
