The Peace Corps no longer operates in Mauritania due to the risk to Americans but here Dave Aabo recounts his experience working there years ago. There are many human rights issues in the country. While Dave was there slavery was legal, and even in 2018, although then illegal, there were more than 90,000 slaves in the country. It is an Islamic Republic where atheism is punishable by death. After leaving Mauritania, Dave went on to do the Peace Corps in Peru and later founded Waves International, a surf travel and volunteer organization in Lobitos that increases surf access to locals, provides English classes and beach clean up to the community.
