Departure & LIFE

It's getting closer and closer to departure time!  Finally received staging details.  I'll be meeting up with the other Zambia Peace Corps volunteers in Philadelphia on February 11th, 2013 and departing from JFK on February 12th, 2013.

Thought maybe some of you would be interested in the LIFE Project.  Late last week the LIFE volunteers had a conference call with the staff and a few current PC volunteers in Zambia.  It seems like volunteers have a lot of opportunities to work on or with projects that really interest them as well as the main project.  Each volunteer has a unique experience that can be drastically different from volunteers even in nearby villages.  As  any RPCV will tell you, your PC experience is what you make it.  So, if you are motivated, there are many many opportunities and projects to work on/with.  Here's a link to a description of the LIFE Project.
