So i heard from the PC yesterday. I received a large packet filled with information telling me i have been assigned to be a Community Health Volunteer in Armenia!!
So here is what i know so far. My departure date is May 31, 2010 to Philadelphia, where i will meet up with all the other newbies and we will have a one day orientation. Then we all fly out together on June 1st for the capital city of Yerevan, Armenia.
Once we arrive we go to a host family that we will be living with for the next 10-11 weeks. During these 10-11 weeks the entire group will have training in language, culture, safety, diversity, etc. and once we pass our language test, we will be sent out somewhere else in the country. I wont know my final posting site until then because it is determined upon need at that time. At the new site i will live with a family again for about a month, then i can either find my own place or stay with them if they like.
My official posting will last from August 13, 2010 - August 14, 2012.
Whewww!! After applying over a year ago i finally got in!
So, next steps:
I have 10 days to respond on whether i want the job or not. So keep me in your prayers as i consider what the best option is. I will keep you updated as much as possible.
