Finally Some News....

I'm so excited- We finally heard from Peace Corps!

We're going to JAMAICA!!!!


We're scheduled to leave July 1 for staging which will last for 3 days in the states and then on July 3 we fly into Jamaica to begin our training. Training for us only lasts from July 3 until August 29 and then we begin our two years of service.

The packet came in the mail today- It talked about our assignments and the things we have to
look forward to. There are still many uncertainties as you can imagine but we finally know where we are going! Our assignment is listed as Environmental Business Promoters however we will be working with environmental awareness, planning and promoting environmental events such as Earth Day, Implementing activities with 4-H clubs, and assisting communities with watershed management- environmental education, and sustainable eco-friendly income generation activities.




This is a map for all of those who have no idea where Jamaica is!
