So, 12 days ago, I finally received my invitation to serve in the Peace Corps as an agroforestry volunteer, and my country assignment: Cameroon. It seems that places beginning with C is a trend and it shall be added to Charlottesville, Carlisle, Corolla. I will be heading up to staging September 17th, and then flying out September 19th.
I am so excited about this opportunity, and feeling as though "I just wish I could have a little bit more time to prepare and spend with my family and friends!" But I think it's something you never can quite prepare enough for and so I'm ready to jump right in.
We will fly into the capital, Yaounde, and spend a little bit of time there before departing to our training sites. We will be at our training sites for three months, roughy, and training will encompas language, culture and technical training, all of which I am looking forward to immensely. During the first three months, my address will be:
Elizabeth Moore
Peace Corps Trainee
Corps de la Paix
B.P. 215
Yaounde, Cameroon
Following those months of training, we will be sent to our assignment villages for the next two years. I will let you know what address I will be at then.
I don't know what kind of internet access I will have during the training or the placement, but I am hoping to be able to keep this relatively up to date, to keep you all informed, and to educate you on Cameroon! How blessed I am to get to introduce you to a new place and new people through my experiences! I know that I will cherish letters and packages like pure gold, and as things take about 6 weeks to arrive, if you're planning on sending a little note, don't hesitate! :)
