Introductions on October 5th in Philly and a few plane rides land me in Kigali, Rwanda by October 8, 2009. So begins my posting as an education volunteer for the Peace Corps. I'm excited and not the least bit scared- although if people keep asking me if I'm scared, it's bound to happen soon. As my day of departure/arrival approaches, I feel more and less prepared than ever.
Training begins immediately in Rwanda with a week stay with a current health volunteer and then 9 or so weeks of intense language learning (Kinyarwanda) and training in Nyanza. I will be sworn in and officially posted December 17th of this year. I'm looking forward to the good, the bad and everything in between.
If there is anything I love more than letters, I have yet to find it. Please write and keep in touch. My address throughout training is:
PC/Rwanda
B.P. 5657
Kigali, Rwanda
Letters take 2-3 weeks to arrive. Please write "Airmail/Par Avion" on letters. Hope to hear from you. I thank you so much for your support.
