Rock n' Roll Doggie ALL ACCESS
Well as most of you know, I had applied for the Peace Corps earlier this year with the hopes of starting service with them next summer. I finished my application, did my fingerprints, went in for my big interview and have been waiting to hear whether or not I was going to be nominated as a potential volunteer.
Anyways, this morning I got the call from my recruiter that I am past the first stage and basically all I have pending now will be my medical and legal clearances. So in so many words?I?m almost definitely IN. (assuming those last two things are ok, which they ought to be)
The next thing that I have to do is review some of the assignments that she has told me about. She can?t tell me exactly WHERE each one is, just the geographic region and what the basic project will be. So far the ones in my radar for consideration are small business development and AIDS education in Africa (one that they would LOVE to send me to because they are desperate for French-speakers), a business advising project in Eastern Europe, and a business advising/education project in Central Asia. As East Timor is a brand-new site, she wasn?t able to find any openings there?YET (although I intend to keep buggin her about it.)
Originally I had thought that Eastern Europe would be my region of choice, but the more that I read about Africa and study the economic situation over there, the more I feel led to lend a hand there. So I dunno. I have some time to think about it and pray about it.
So that?s where it stands so far. Celebrate with me! I?m very excited about this new development. And please, please pray for me. I?m scared out of my wits too.
Thanks for being there for me and I know I?m going to rely heavily upon your emotional and spiritual support in the days ahead.
