I decided to jump in to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and experience - as I become a Peace Corps Health Volunteer! Here is my journey, and somewhat public diary, of this exciting experience. I only hope this blog can help inspire others to go beyond their own boundaries and limits.... to see what else this world has to show and offer!
I made it through 32 hours of no sleep, a 15 hour flight, and am now sitting in the Johannesburg airport...waiting to get on our last leg of plane rides....to Namibia!
As soon as I have more internet time, I will update with the details, pictures, etc....
So far, everything is going wonderful!!! The other volunteers are fabulous! There are 19 of us, total.
Our training in Philly was great! It was mainly very general - safety & security, culture and the Peace Corps' missions and goals. This definitely made me realize exactly what I'm about to do....
But, as promised, I will give many more details of this training, the other volunteers, our travel, and Namibia info - once I arrive at our training center in Okahandja!!!
Hey Linda and Joe! I got there on about my 6th wind! lol Things are wonderful...challenging...but great. I'm just trying to find the time to put in to writing my next post....because there is sooooooo much to say, and we've been super busy with training..... Hope all is well with you!
Safe travels Johanna. Glad you made it most of the way there. I bet your exhausted!! Take Care. Linda and Joe B.
