Hi! My Sesotho name is Pontso Selebalo, but my American name is Denise. I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area but am currently living on the border between Leribe and Butha Buthe. I'm a volunteer with Peace Corps-Lesotho. I studied global and cultural journalism at the School of Interdisciplinary Studies, Miami of Ohio. After Peace Corps, I hope to live in Portland, Oregon. I like to learn languages, do yoga, write, do graphic design, cook and chit-chat. Above all, I love to learn.
