http://www.djiboutijones.com/In 2003, Rachel left Minnesota and moved to Somalia where her husband taught Physics and English at Amoud University in a northern village. Since then, she has also lived in Kenya, France, and Djibouti.
Her husband, Tom, teaches at the University of Djibouti and runs our NGO, Resource Exchange International. Their aim is to be a part of community development that affects the whole person, from education to employment to the spiritual life and physical health. Long-term change requires long-term investment and so, after eleven years, they are still there.
