She extended for a third year to work as a primary education specialist.

Her training took place in-country in Muheiza, where she lived with a Swahili-speaking family for two months to help learn the language. After training, Kovalaske was placed in the southeastern regional capital of Lindi where she successfully engaged young children in dramatizations about good health practices. She extended her service for a third year and moved to Mtwara, where she worked with a USAID-affiliated agency to develop educational technology. 2 digital audio files (web streaming files combined into 1 file).
