This Friday October 7, 2011 I will swear-in as an official Peace Corps Volunteer. I had a traditional dress made. I will post pictures soon.Training has been bitter sweet. One of our last assignments was giving a health talk. We were split into groups of two, told to pick a health topic and given students at the local schools. I chose to talk about HIV/AIDS, STIs and Empowerment. The students took a while to open up and be active but they were asking questions and really excited by the time the session was over. That was one of the best things I’ve done in Zambia so I’m extremely motivated about moving to Petauke.
What is Next: The 1st 3 months (Oct-Dec) are “community-entry”. That time is for me to get to know my community and meet everyone. Very Excited & I hope to have more to talk about in Dec.
