Hi everyone,
Welcome to my blog! For those who know about my tech capabilities, aren't you proud?!
I have less than two weeks before I leave for Cameroon. On the 19th I will register, along with 41 other PC trainees, for our first stage of training in Philadelphia. From the 19th to the 22nd my schedule will be pretty full as my fellow trainees and I begin preparing for two years of service in Cameroon. We check out of the hotel in Philadelphia on the 22nd, head to a clinic for multiple shots, and board the plane to start this journey. Thank you to everyone who has supported my decision to join the Peace Corps and encouraged me through the long months of waiting to receive my placement. The waiting period has actually proved to be a life lesson in itself!
I will not receive my post in Cameroon until october, but I do know that I will be a community health educator. I may or may not have access to electricity at my post, but I expect to be able to check in via internet from time to time. In the case of snail mail, my preliminary address for my first 10 weeks of training in Cameroon is:
Erica Williams
Peace Corps Trainee
Corps de la Paix
B.P. 215
Yaoundé, Cameroon
I am off to finish packing!
