Our assignment and staging dates (Christy)

Program: Community Based Natural Resource Project
Job Title: Environmental Village Extension Volunteer

What does this mean? We'll have a much better idea in a few months. James and I have both been given this same assignment. From the descriptions we've seen so far, it can involve a whole range of projects related to agriculture and environmental education (as well as girls empowerment and AIDS education), the success of which will depend on how well we can integrate into our particular village. Thank goodness for the 2 month training period.

We finally received our staging packet, which reveals the following schedule:

DFW to Philadelphia Monday morning June 12 for registration, training, and vaccinations.

(Hey Bryn Mawr people, if you'll be there and want to try to see us for lunch or something, let us know!)

Arrive in Tanzania on June 15. Exciting!
