Plan to depart Nov. 6
This is my first post. I hope I'll be able to write here often.
We depart Nov. 6 for stagging, which will most likely be in an city on the East Coast. I'm hoping it will be New York, but any place I haven't been to would be nice. The staging is basically a getting to know you weekend with the other volunteers, shots, last minute paperwork... It might even be two nights in two different cities. I'll get per diem.
After staging, we'll leave the U.S. for Namibia, probably with a pit stop in Europe. Training in Namibia will begin Nov. 10 and will last until school starts sometime in Januaray. Only then will I arrive at my final destination (location to be determined in December or possibly January).
I am going to practice posting pictures.
