One year ago today I opened my mail and learned I might as well give up my Arabic lessons as I was headed to Botswana. Hard to believe a year has gone by already. Commemorations will be held all over the world this day. We remember those who have died, those who live with HIV/AIDS and those yet to succumb to this terrible disease.
Are we making a difference here? Hard to tell. We may never know. Still we must try.
It's what makes us human.
About Me
- Mike Wigal
- My name is Mike Wigal. I'm 59 years old. It's been over four years since the death of my wife, Jan Gill-Wigal. I've learned much about myself in that time. I'm still learning. This much I know: I neither ask from nor promise anything to anyone. If I give I give from my heart. If you give you give from your own free will. I'm smart and I'm stupid. Thoughtful and thoughtless. Brave and cowardly. You can both love me and hate me. Passionately. Simultaneously. I'm part saint, part sinner. Exciting and boring. Kind and cruel. I'm a work in progress. I love being alive. Oh yeah, This website expresses the views of me, Mike Wigal, who is entirely responsible for its content. It does not express the views of the United States Peace Corps, the government of Botswana or any other institutions named or linked to on these pages.
