Woke up to an email from the Namibian Field Director today! Jocie went to Namibia in December of 2006 as a volunteer and ended up staying through August of 2008 when she took the Field Director position - wow!She sent me and the 3 other Semester volunteers an email introducing herself, welcoming us and giving us some added insights into life there and the program. She also promised details on our placements "soon".
Last, she gave us a link to her personal pictures - awesome! I obviously can't post it but am including just one for kicks. HELLO!!!! There are bunches more of giraffes, an elephant and a kudu (Corey if you ever read this, I TOTally thought of you.) It was also great to see pictures of the kids at school, other volunteers, the "town", etc. Oooohh I'm so excited!
Will of course post details of my placement the minute I hear.
In brief other news, my 25 hours of TEFL volunteering starts tomorrow morning bright and early. Woo hoo!
ps - my boyfriend is singing "Africa" by Toto in the shower right now. I guess he's OK with the Africa thing now :-)
