Hi Everyone! I figured it was about time for me to create a blog..especially after reading/stalking other blogs on a daily basis.I am currently nominated to go to Africa for HIV/AIDS outreach leaving in May or June 2011. Here is my timeline, sorry that I don't have all the exact dates.
October 2010-started & finished the application process
November 4th 2010-interview
November 26th-nomination.
December 11th-received medical kit
January 24th-mailed in medical kit
February 2nd- Peace Corps received my medical kit
February 8th-Dental Clearance
March 2nd -Got a voicemail from my PC nurse stating they received the results from my recent pap and I will hear about my medical clearance within the next 2 weeks, so now I just wait..again.
June 5th-Phone interview and invitation!!
So now I have some questions, I hope they aren't dumb questions. I read these blogs of volunteers in Africa who have no electricity etc..my questions are how are they posting their blogs? I do realize that in some places you can go to the nearest town that has an Internet cafe. How are they charging their computers? Do solar chargers work on computers? I have been "in my mind" preparing for these living conditions so I was just wondering. Please help! PS. I have never ever blogged before and my grammar is not always amazing, so I apologize in advance!
Hey! Welcome to the blogosphere and Peace Corps Journals! I'm from Cleveland (I see you're in Columbus) and just started my blog, too, last month. ALSO my nomination is for Sub-Saharan Africa June 2011 Health Extension (probably HIV/AIDS or women's health)--it'd be crazy if we were placed together! I just received medical clearance last week and sent Placement my updated resume. Now I'm waiting that 4-6 weeks to hear about an Invitation. Patience to us both! Happy blogging :)
