Okay so the day we... or I have been waiting for has arrived and pasted! The announcement was done buy having trainees put their name on a map and guess who was the VERY last. Good thing years of alphabetical order had prepared me!! I will be living in the “north” between Ouaga and Ouahigouya. I am replacing a volunteer that we medically separated after only a few months of service and the village is wanting a ‘mature’ volunteer. Hopefully I will fulfill these requirements. :) There are also a few CBOs (community based organizations) one of which is a woman’s group I can work with.
Also I will have a stand alone house which I AM SO happy about. YAY! Also there is a good market in my village which was the other thing (besides the stand alone house) that I requested.
Lastly, I am near the main paved road between Ouaga and Ouahigouya and will just have to bike 12 Km to get to get to a bus. SO... as of now I am planning on keeping my ‘training’ address which can be found on Facebook or I will give it to you via email.
Mail and packages are encouraged and welcomed. :)
Well, we only have two weeks left of training and it is hard to believe that we are coming to an end. One would think time flies when you are busy but NO... it has been going by slowly however the month of August has been flying by and we are swearing in as a volunteer on the 27th of August in Ouaga.
It is crazy to think that I will be at my site in just a few short weeks.
Finally I promise to get pictures from my home stay and training up in the next posting.PROMISE.
