Peace Corps Invitation

My Peace Corps invitation arrived Yesterday.

My invitation is to serve as a Municipal and Community Development Agent in Niger and staging will be July 24th - July 26th. I'll land in Niger on the 27th.

More details to come, currently focused on more paperwork.

I'm beyond excited right now.

ps Niger is pronounced nee-ZHER ( just think French)

  5. Anonymous, whoever you are I hope we see each other before I leave too.

    Alison, I look forward to meeting you. Send an email and let me know what program you are in.

    Hannah, have sooooo much fun in Jamaica. Get your Environmental Adventures on. I can't wait for you, Nathan, and I to compare our Peace Corps experiences when we all get back. We probably couldn't be going to three more different places.

    Anonymous, I wish you the best. If it's something you truly want dig your heels in and prepare to get all of your paperwork in as quick as possible. I'll be posting a timeline of my experience soon, so check back. Also, anyone who has served will gladly talk your ear off with stories and helpful information. They are out there, just find them.
