Yes! I'm joining the Peace Corps (PC) and leaving for Mauritania, Africa. On June 17th I'm leaving for Atlanta, Georgia and after 3 days of Orientation with other PC Volunteers (PCV) it's on to Senegal for a 6 hour (give or take a couple hours) bus ride to Rosso, Mauritania for 3 months of intense training.
Along with a record-high 135 other trainees, I'll learn about culture, safety, language (probably one or 2 of several Arabic dialects), etc while living with a local host family.
This is a chance of a life time and I can't thank you enough for your love and support! I'll be keeping you updated for the next 27 months!
