I have officially begun my journey to becoming a Peace Corps Volunteer (PCV). For now, I am still considered a Peace Corps Trainee (PCT). For the past 2 days, I have completed first part of my training: attending the staging event. During staging, the other PCTs and I participated in a variety of informational sessions in order to better prepare ourselves travel to a new country.
Our group, Moz27, will be the 27th group of Peace Corps Volunteers to serve in Mozambique. There are over 60 people in our group. I have met (almost) everyone over the last 2 days, however it will probably still be a while before I actually remember everyone's names...but everyone is extremely helpful and friendly! I am looking forward to spending the next 3 months training with these folks.
Tonight I spend my last night in the U.S.A. packing and rearranging my luggage for the trip over. Hopefully all of my luggage makes it over with me. I am not sure when (or how often) I will be able to update this blog, but stay tuned!
